Sunset aperitivo on the hills of Pieve a Presciano
Aperisunset is one of the most anticipated summer events in Pieve a Presciano, a small village in the municipality of Laterina Pergine Valdarno, in the heart of the Valdarno area near Arezzo (Tuscany). The event was born from the desire of the Comitato Pievigiano, the local association that brings the village to life, to turn an early summer evening into a moment of celebration shared by residents and visitors alike.
The name says it all: an extended aperitivo that accompanies guests until the sun goes down. The setting is the Muraglione of Pieve a Presciano, a panoramic overlook where the gaze wanders freely over the cultivated hills of the Valdarno. When the light turns golden, the aperitivo transforms into a spectacleโit is the sunset itself that gives the event its name: Aperisunset.
The formula is simple and well-tested: an apericena (aperitivo-dinner) with good food, live music, fun, and plenty of conviviality. You can eat, drink, chat, and dance in the open air, in the informal atmosphere typical of Tuscan village festivals, where what matters isn't prestige, but the pleasure of being together.
Each edition is characterized by a theme that is reflected in the decorations and the suggested dress code for participants. In 2025, the event was colored by the Hawaiian Party, complete with floral shirts and leis; for 2026, the Comitato Pievigiano has chosen the White Party, inviting guests to dress in white for an elegant and luminous evening under the Valdarno sky.
Pieve a Presciano is a village in eastern Tuscany that retains the quiet charm of small rural centers, far from the major tourist flows but close to Arezzo and the entire Valdarno district. Events like Aperisunset tell the story of an authentic Tuscany, made of volunteers, a tradition of hospitality, and a deep bond with the landscape. Participating means discovering a little-known corner of the province of Arezzo at the most evocative time of day, when the sun sets behind the hills.
For 2026, Aperisunset chooses the White Party theme: on Saturday, June 6, the Muraglione of Pieve a Presciano will dress in white for an open-air apericena evening. The formula is the one loved by the public, with good food, music, and the essential view of the sunset over the Valdarno hills.
The event is organized by the Comitato Pievigiano and kicks off in the evening. The detailed musical program, the menu, and booking methods are communicated by the association in the days leading up to the event, through the municipal tourism portal and the Committee's social media channels.
Aperisunset 2026 takes place on the Muraglione of Pieve a Presciano starting in the evening (in previous years from 7:00 PM).
The detailed musical line-up and the full menu have not yet been published at the time of writing: the Comitato Pievigiano usually announces them in the weeks immediately preceding the event.
Pieve a Presciano is a hamlet of the municipality of Laterina Pergine Valdarno, in the province of Arezzo. By car, it can be reached from the Valdarno exit of the A1 motorway or from the regional road connecting the Valdarno area to Arezzo; the village is well signposted. The nearest train station is in Laterina, on the Florence-Arezzo line.
The event takes place on the Muraglione of Pieve a Presciano starting in the evening. The apericena is held outdoors: comfortable clothing is recommended, and for the 2026 White Party, a touch of white is encouraged.
For details on menus, costs, and reservations, it is best to contact the Comitato Pievigiano or consult the official municipal tourism portal (vivi.laterinaperginevaldarno.it).
