Tortello and Schiacciata Festival (Summer Edition)

A gastronomic festival in the heart of Pratolino Park

The Tortello and Schiacciata Festival, in its summer edition, brings the Medici Park of Pratolino to life in the municipality of Vaglia, near Florence and on the edge of the Mugello area. The event takes place at La Locanda, inside the famous Villa Demidoff park, extending the success of the spring weekends into June with the same convivial format dedicated to local specialties.

The stars: Mugello-style tortelli and stuffed schiacciate

At the heart of the event are two iconic dishes of Tuscan peasant tradition. The Mugello-style tortelli, filled with potatoes and served with meat sauce, are one of the most beloved first courses in this corner of Tuscany. Alongside them are the stuffed schiacciate, handmade and baked to order, to be enjoyed warm. The kitchen operates with continuous service, allowing you to have lunch, dinner, or a snack at any time of the day.

Sunset aperitifs and family-friendly atmosphere

The summer edition makes the most of the park's natural setting: in the evening, you can stop for a sunset aperitif amidst the long shadows of the great trees in the Medici garden. The presence of a kids' area makes the event particularly suitable for families, who can combine the pleasure of good food with a walk through the avenues, fountains, and romantic vistas of Pratolino Park, now managed by the Metropolitan City of Florence.

A food and wine tradition of the Florentine Mugello

The festival is part of the rich calendar of Tuscan food festivals, particularly in the Mugello area, where the potato tortello is a true institution. The setting in the Medici Park of Pratolino, a recognized historical and landscape heritage site, adds unique value to an event that combines taste, nature, and the culture of the Florentine territory. An ideal opportunity to discover the genuine flavors of local cuisine in one of the most evocative places near Florence.
