About C'è di Peggio Fest
Impruneta Festival: C'è di Peggio Fest
In the heart of the Florentine Chianti, Impruneta (Metropolitan City of Florence, Tuscany) hosts one of the region's most cherished events every year: the C'è di Peggio Fest. This major festival organized by the Casa del Popolo of Impruneta has long been a cornerstone of local culture, music, and civic engagement. Far from a typical village fair, it is a participatory, grassroots event that fills the historic center with concerts, debates, DJ sets, workshops, and sports, always with a focus on social rights and community building.
Where it takes place
The festival unfolds across the town's most iconic landmarks: the Casa del Popolo, the beating heart of the event, the spacious Piazza Buondelmonti, and the evocative Loggiato del Pellegrino. These squares come alive with stages, markets, and meeting spaces, while the hillside village provides the perfect setting for five days of events open to all.
Music, rights, and participation
The program for the C'è di Peggio Fest is built around thematic days dedicated to media activism, sports, social inclusion, the fight against gender discrimination, and civic participation. Each day balances moments of reflection—featuring talks and dialogues with journalists, experts, and representatives from the non-profit sector—with evenings of live music and DJ sets that make the festival a highly anticipated local tradition. The event also includes workshops, wellness sessions, and activities specifically designed for children.
A community celebration
The C'è di Peggio Fest is also a platform for Impruneta's various associations and civic groups. The Pro Loco hosts the Craft and Collectibles Market in Piazza Buondelmonti, while the Società Corale presents the historic Choral Review at the Loggiato del Pellegrino along with other traditional initiatives. The festival traditionally concludes with moments dedicated to civil memory and a peace march, reaffirming the spirit of solidarity and participation that defines it.
Why it's worth visiting
Experiencing the C'è di Peggio Fest means discovering the most authentic soul of Impruneta: a Chianti town that makes collective participation and popular culture its hallmark. Between a concert and a debate, a craft stall and a choir filling the loggia, the festival offers visitors a sincere experience, far from mass tourism circuits and deeply rooted in the life of the community.
