Il Fusigno d'Estate
Three days of flavors, music, and tradition in the heart of the Florentine Mountains
About Il Fusigno d'Estate
A village festival that smells of Tuscany
In the heart of the Florentine Mountains, just a stone's throw from the Casentinesi Forests National Park, the small village of Londa (Province of Florence) hosts Il Fusigno d'Estate every summer. This is the summer version of the traditional Fusigno Festival that has animated the town during the Christmas holidays for generations. The term fusigno, in the local Tuscan dialect, refers to a "snack": a name that perfectly captures the spirit of the event, defined by good food, sharing, and a slow pace of life.
Farm-to-table flavors
The beating heart of the event is its culinary soul. Food stalls offer dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, a direct expression of the territory: from the famous Pesca Regina di Londa, a local agricultural presidium, to bardiccio, the typical fennel-spiced sausage grilled over embers and the star of many recipes. Dinners take place right in Piazza della Repubblica, under the stars, in a genuine and popular atmosphere.
Music, art, and nature
Alongside the dining, the program weaves in entertainment for everyone. Evenings are marked by concerts and DJ sets, ranging from Italian and international hits of the 70s-90s to selections dedicated to the music that made generations dance. During the day, there is space for roving Art Workshops by local artists along the lake shores, botanical walks, and guided treks through the trails and bivouacs surrounding Londa.
A "Wise Festival" in the name of sustainability
Il Fusigno d'Estate is part of the Feste Sagge (Wise Festivals) circuit, events with low environmental impact promoted in the municipalities of the Casentinesi Forests National Park, focused on waste reduction and the promotion of local products. The edition is also part of the Florentine Mountain Festival program, which combines art, music, trekking, and nature between Londa and the neighboring villages.
Why it's worth it
- An authentic Tuscan village festival, far from mass tourism circuits.
- Genuine farm-to-table cuisine featuring the valley's finest, from the Pesca Regina to bardiccio.
- A program that combines gastronomy, live music, art, and outdoor nature activities.
- Free admission and a convivial atmosphere, perfect for families and lovers of slow tourism.
