About Tonfano d'Amare

Tonfano d'Amare is the market festival that marks the beginning of the summer season in the heart of Marina di Pietrasanta, Versilia. Over the four-day Republic Day long weekend, the central Piazza XXIV Maggio transforms into an open-air showcase featuring over fifty exhibitors of fashion, design, local crafts, and regional flavors. With colorful stalls, seaside strolls, and music, it is the perfect way to experience the summer charm of Tonfano, one of the most beloved seaside districts in the province of Lucca.

Tonfano d'Amare: summer begins in the square

As the days grow longer and Versilia prepares to welcome its first tourists of the season, Tonfano d'Amare officially kicks off the summer in Marina di Pietrasanta. The event takes place in the picturesque Piazza XXIV Maggio, in the heart of the Tonfano seaside district, just a stone's throw from the sea and the famous pine forest. It is a highly anticipated event that takes advantage of the long Republic Day weekend to draw residents and vacationers to one of the most scenic spots on the Tuscan coast.

A market festival of fashion, design, and flavors

The heart of the event is a large market festival with over fifty exhibitors enlivening the square with their offerings. The four days are a journey through:

  • Fashion and accessories, featuring seasonal styles and creations;
  • Design and home decor;
  • Quality crafts, showcasing manual skill and creativity;
  • Flavors and typical local products, from sweet to savory.

Strolling among the stalls is a delightful way to discover small-batch productions and original ideas, all while immersed in the relaxed seaside atmosphere that makes early June in Versilia so unique.

Music and the Start of Summer Party

The event is more than just shopping: Monday, June 1st features the Start of Summer Party, with a DJ set by Fosco Dj to get the square dancing and heat up the atmosphere in anticipation of the sunny season. It is a convivial and festive moment that combines shopping, music, and the spirit of summer.
