Chestnuts, traditional sweets, and autumn flavors in the village of Valle Stura
About Rossiglione Chestnut Festival
The chestnut festival in Valle Stura
The Rossiglione Chestnut Festival is the autumn celebration that honors the chestnut, the prime fruit of the woods of Valle Stura, in the territory of the Beigua Regional Natural Park, in the Metropolitan City of Genoa. For an entire day, the village comes alive with the aroma of roasted chestnuts and the flavors of tradition.
Chestnuts in every form
The absolute stars are boiled and roasted chestnuts, but the festival also offers traditional sweets made with chestnut flour, typical valley products, and local wines. The stands of the Pro Loco and producers fill the streets of the historic center, among the tower-houses and low arcades that characterize the upper village of Rossiglione.
