Farmers' Festival

A tribute to farming culture in the tufa village

The Farmers' Festival is one of the most cherished summer events in Pitigliano, a stunning village perched on a tufa cliff in the province of Grosseto, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. Promoted by the Associazione Promo Filter in collaboration with the Cantina del Torciatore 19 Marzo and the Municipality of Pitigliano, the festival pays homage to the local rural roots and the farming civilization that has shaped the landscape and life of the Area del Tufo for centuries.

Three days of tradition, flavors, and rural memory

For three days in early August, the streets and squares of Pitigliano's historic center transform into a grand stage for tradition. The heart of the event is the Farmers' Dinner, a convivial meal featuring typical specialties of the Area del Tufo: Maremma-style dishes rooted in the land, paired with local wines. A rich program of activities revolves around the dinner.

• Craft market, showcasing local creations and typical products.
• Vintage farm machinery display: tractors and tools that tell the history of field labor.
• Orchestra dancing, for evenings of music and outdoor socializing.
• Farmers' Gathering in the Quattro Strade area, the closing event that brings together enthusiasts and historic agricultural vehicles.

Pitigliano and the Area del Tufo

Known as the "Little Jerusalem" for its historic Jewish community, Pitigliano is one of the most fascinating villages in southern Tuscany, carved into tufa rock and surrounded by vineyards and countryside. The Farmers' Festival is part of a summer calendar that highlights the rural and food-and-wine identity of the area, alongside other events like the Winery Festival and the County Festival. Attending means discovering the authentic soul of the Maremma, made of earth, hard work, good food, and conviviality.

An event for the whole family

With its informal and popular atmosphere, the Farmers' Festival is designed for all ages: families, curious travelers, fans of rural traditions, and visitors vacationing in southern Tuscany will find an opportunity to get up close to the farming heritage of the Municipality of Pitigliano, amidst history, flavors, and music.
