Monte San Savino Porchetta Festival

The 2025 edition of the Monte San Savino Porchetta Festival was held from September 10 to 14, enlivening the historic center of the Valdichiana village with five days of taste and celebration.

The program alternated between gastronomic and cultural moments: the inaugural gala dinner in the Hanging Garden of Palazzo di Monte, gourmet sandwich dinners in Piazza Gamurrini, the "Gin in Porchetta" event with pairings and DJ sets, and the wide selection of stalls offering porchetta, pici, and grilled meat.

There was no shortage of live music with tribute bands, dance performances, the concert by the Ario Gigli Philharmonic, the closing theatrical show, and sports events like the Porchetta Bike and the Rugata Savinese walk, in addition to the traditional Tournament of the Gioco del Pallone col Bracciale.
