Edition 2025 — Raggiolo Castagnatura

The 2025 edition of the Raggiolo Castagnatura Festival took place on Saturday, November 1, and Sunday, November 2, with two days dedicated to the Casentino chestnut. Featuring guided tours, chestnut processing demonstrations, tastings of baldino, polenta, and desserts, an artisan market, music, folk dancing, and children's workshops, the village of Raggiolo renewed its most cherished autumn festival, organized by the Brigata di Raggiolo with the local municipality and the Casentino EcoMuseum.
