The evening gourmet market in the village, every Thursday in summer
In the heart of the Pisan hills, the village of Chianni (Province of Pisa, Tuscany) hosts Degustiamo Chianni every summer, an evening market dedicated to local flavors and craftsmanship. The event takes place every Thursday evening in July and August in Piazza Bartoli, where stalls, lights, and music bring the historic center to life until late.
This initiative is part of the broader Estate a Chianni (Summer in Chianni) program, a series of events organized by the Pro Loco from June to late August to bring the village to life during the warmer months. Degustiamo Chianni is one of the most anticipated highlights: a market that showcases small producers and local artisans in a friendly, convivial atmosphere.
The evenings at Degustiamo Chianni offer a journey of tastings, discoveries, and unique finds:
It is an experience designed for those who love the slow pace of village life: arrive at sunset, wander through the stalls, stop for a glass of wine or a bite to eat, and stay in the square until late in the evening.
Chianni is a small town in the Upper Val di Cecina, in the Province of Pisa, nestled among woods, vineyards, and olive groves. It is part of the Terre di Pisa district, a territory renowned for the quality of its agricultural products and its villages that preserve an authentic identity. This culinary vocation is the common thread of Degustiamo Chianni, which celebrates local flavors, one evening at a time.
During the summer, the village also hosts other Pro Loco events, from the special "Chianni loves you" dinner to end-of-season initiatives, making July and August particularly lively. However, Degustiamo Chianni remains the signature Thursday evening event, drawing both residents and visitors from nearby areas.
More than just a market, Degustiamo Chianni is a way to discover a corner of Tuscany far from the main tourist crowds. The square becomes the village's living room, where taste meets conviviality, and where every summer Thursday is worth the trip for a unique evening out.
The 2026 edition of Degustiamo Chianni takes place every Thursday evening in July and August in Piazza Bartoli, as part of the Estate a Chianni program (June 19 โ August 30, 2026) organized by the Pro Loco Chianni APS.
The evenings maintain the evening market format: typical and artisanal products, vintage stalls, and musical accompaniment in the historic center. The same summer also hosts the special "Chianni loves you" dinner in late July in Piazza della Chiesa.
The detailed program for each evening (exhibitors, menus, and musical performances for each Thursday) is announced by the Pro Loco in the weeks leading up to the summer. For updates, please refer to the official Pro Loco Chianni channels.
