The spring market exhibition in the heart of Lunigiana
The Cucù Fair is one of the most anticipated spring events in Casola in Lunigiana, a small town in the province of Massa-Carrara, nestled between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines in the heart of Tuscany. For many years, this classic market exhibition has transformed the village streets into a long trail of stalls, enlivening the historic center for an entire day, from morning until evening.
The fair combines open-air shopping with the taste of tradition. Alongside stalls selling various goods, visitors will find a rich selection of local products and food stands that highlight the flavors of the region. Among the most appreciated offerings is the tasting of oil from local mills, a symbol of the mountain agriculture that has shaped the landscape and culture of Lunigiana.
The demonstrations of ancient crafts are the heart and soul of the Cucù Fair: displays of artisanal techniques and traditional farming methods that tell the story of rural life in this borderland between Tuscany, Liguria, and Emilia. For nature lovers, a horseback ride through the woods and villages of Lunigiana is an original way to discover a territory of great charm, filled with castles, Romanesque churches, and ancient paths.
Casola in Lunigiana is an authentic medieval village, perfect for visiting during the fair. The event, organized by the Municipality of Casola in Lunigiana, is the ideal opportunity to combine a stroll through the stone alleys of the town, some quality shopping, and a taste of the genuine flavors of the Lunigiana tradition.
