In the village center, the Alpini serve steaming roasted chestnuts accompanied by local wine and mountain cheeses, in a festive atmosphere that celebrates the flavors of autumn and conviviality. A simple and genuine day, perfect for discovering Torriglia and its surroundings during the most evocative time of the year.
