Levigliani Wine Art Festival

An Apuan village transformed into a festival

The Levigliani Wine Art Festival is one of the most distinctive summer events in Versilia. It takes place in Levigliani, a small hamlet in the municipality of Stazzema, in the province of Lucca, perched high in the Apuan Alps just a few kilometers from the Versilian coast. For a few summer nights, the entire village dresses up for the occasion: once you cross the entrance gate, a path of torches, candles, and evocative light and shadow displays guides visitors through the alleys and squares, which are transformed into spaces for tastings, performances, and exhibitions.

Wine, art, and Versilian gastronomy

The festival was born from the encounter between wine and art, as the subtitle "Art and wine festival in historic Versilia" suggests. Along the route, you can sample over one hundred labels from the best local and national wine producers, accompanied by craft beers and specialties of the Versilian gastronomic tradition, served at a dozen refreshment points scattered throughout the village.

• Over 100 wine labels to taste with the dedicated kit
• A dozen food stalls featuring Versilian cuisine
• Craft beers and typical products from the Apuan territory

Performances and street artists

Alongside wine, the soul of the event is live art. In various spots set up among the houses, acrobats, stilt walkers, tightrope walkers, musicians, and street artists take turns performing, while art and photography exhibitions bring the village spaces to life. Each evening, over a hundred artists create a multidisciplinary program that blends circus, music, and visual arts, offering an enchanting atmosphere under the starry Apuan sky.

Between sea and mountains

Levigliani is an ideal starting point for discovering the most authentic side of Versilia: the village lies on the slopes of Monte Corchia, home to the karst complex of the Antro del Corchia, one of the most extensive cave systems in Italy. The event, organized by local groups with the patronage of the Municipality of Stazzema, attracts thousands of visitors every year and has become a staple of the Tuscan summer, successfully combining the conviviality of fine wine with the beauty of the Apuan landscape.

A highlight of the Tuscan summer

Now in its second decade, the Levigliani Wine Art Festival celebrates the identity of the mountain community and the revitalization of the village, turning August evenings into a multisensory experience where wine, art, and tradition meet in the heart of historic Versilia.
