About Autunno Contadino
Autumn Sundays in the Mountains of Fumane
Autunno Contadino is an event that enlivens the mountain villages of the Municipality of Fumane, in the upper Valpolicella, in the province of Verona, every Sunday in October. Four stages follow one another in the hamlets — Molina, Gorgusello, Breonio, and Cavalo — with farmers' markets featuring small organic producers from the Verona mountains, dedicated to promoting typical products and the connection with the land.
The Antica Fiera del Rosario of Breonio
The heart of the event is the Antica Fiera del Rosario in Breonio, held on the third Sunday of October for the feast of the Madonna del Rosario. Now in its twenty-first edition, it is one of the most deeply rooted traditional fairs in the Verona mountains: from the early morning hours, the village streets fill with markets, food stands, exhibitions, and events that attract visitors from all over Valpolicella.
Ancient Crafts and Mountain Flavours
Along the stages of Autunno Contadino, there are demonstrations of ancient crafts, organic products and handicrafts, chestnuts, and seasonal flavours. The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Breonio together with Unpli Verona and represents a unique opportunity to discover the highest villages of the Municipality of Fumane in autumn, amidst nature, tradition, and gastronomy.
Autunno Contadino — edition 2026
For 2026, Autunno Contadino will traditionally enliven the October Sundays in the mountain hamlets of Fumane. Based on previous editions, the four stages take place in Molina, Gorgusello, Breonio, and Cavalo, with the Antica Fiera del Rosario of Breonio on the third Sunday of the month.
Each stage offers a farmers' market with small organic producers, crafts, demonstrations of ancient crafts, chestnuts, and food stands. The precise dates for 2026 will be published by the Pro Loco of Breonio and Unpli Verona.
