Castagnetoli Food & Dance
A convivial dinner and dance concert in the village of Castagnetoli
About Castagnetoli Food & Dance
A festive evening in the heart of Lunigiana
Castagnetoli Food & Dance is one of the most anticipated summer events in the small village of Castagnetoli, a hamlet of Mulazzo in the province of Massa-Carrara, nestled in the heart of the Tuscan Lunigiana. Organized by the Amici di Castagnetoli association, the event combines two essential ingredients of Italian village festivals: great food and danceable music.
A convivial dinner followed by dancing
The evening begins with a convivial dinner held outdoors, among the alleys and squares of the village, where residents and visitors gather around tables to share traditional Lunigiana dishes. After dinner, the program continues with a concert by the Insolito Stage, titled "Dancing the Night": a repertoire designed to get everyone on their feet and turn the village square into an open-air dance floor.
The village of Castagnetoli
Castagnetoli is one of the most characteristic hamlets of Mulazzo, a municipality that is part of the "Borghi più belli d'Italia" (Most Beautiful Villages in Italy) circuit and is famously linked to the memory of Dante Alighieri, who was a guest of the Malaspina marquises. The village, immersed in the hills of the Val di Magra, preserves the authentic atmosphere of Lunigiana, a land of chestnut groves, ancient paths, and farming traditions. Events like this are born from the desire of small communities to keep the village spirit alive during the summer.
A summer of events in Mulazzo
Castagnetoli Food & Dance is part of a busy summer calendar that brings Mulazzo and its hamlets to life in July and August with food festivals, concerts, popular celebrations, and gastronomic events. It is the ideal opportunity for those who wish to experience the most genuine side of Tuscany, far from mass tourism, amidst hospitality, local flavors, and a sense of community.
