Mondina and Fried Quartuccio Festival in Bargecchia

The 2025 edition of the Mondina and Fried Quartuccio Festival took place in Bargecchia, a village in the Municipality of Massarosa, in the Province of Lucca, over three weekends in October. The festival re-proposed the dishes that have made it famous for nearly half a century: mondine (roasted chestnuts), fried quartuccio with prosciutto, tordelli with meat sauce, zuppa alla frantoiana, tripe, and roast beef. The kitchens opened every evening at 7:30 PM, followed by musical entertainment in the square. As per tradition, the proceeds supported the volunteer activities of the Pubblica Assistenza Croce Verde Collinare and the AVIS of Bargecchia.
