Edition 2025 — Saffron Festival of Braccano

In autumn 2025, the hamlet of Braccano, in the Municipality of Matelica (MC), renewed its appointment with the Saffron Festival, combined with the foliage excursion in the Monte Cipollara beech forest. A day of mountain walking, discovery of local saffron cultivation, and tasting of typical Marche dishes, during the period of flowering and autumn colours.

The 2025 edition of the Saffron Festival took place in Braccano di Matelica in the autumn period, when the saffron fields are in bloom and the woods of the Marche Apennines offer the spectacle of foliage. In 2025 too, the event, curated by the Braccano Festival Committee, combined the guided excursion on Monte Cipollara with the promotion of local saffron, a spice cultivated in these lands since the Middle Ages.

As tradition dictates, participants were able to walk in the autumn beech forest and then taste typical dishes flavoured with Braccano saffron, rediscovering the village of murals and the flavours of the local peasant cuisine.
