Roasted chestnuts and autumn sweets on All Saints' Day
About Castagnata dei Santi
The roasted chestnut festival
The Castagnata dei Santi is the autumn festival (sagra) of Ficarolo, a municipality in the province of Rovigo in Alto Polesine. It takes place on November 1st, All Saints' Day, in Piazzetta Garibaldi, at the Pro Loco headquarters, and celebrates one of the symbolic products of autumn: the chestnut.
Autumn flavours
The stars of the day are the traditionally roasted chestnuts, accompanied by typical seasonal desserts: castagnaccio, pinza made with bread and raisins, pinzin, and hot chocolate for the little ones. A convivial gathering that brings the community together around the simple and genuine flavours of Polesine.
A tradition that is renewed
The Castagnata dei Santi is a recurring event that returns every autumn in Ficarolo, organised by the Pro Loco Ficarolo with the patronage of the Municipality. Included in the town's event calendar, it represents the moment when the community bids farewell to autumn with a popular festival dedicated to local gastronomic tradition.
