About Travaino Chestnut Festival

The Castagnata del Circolo Travaino is the autumn event of Caronno Varesino, a municipality in the province of Varese. Organized by the Circolo Cooperativa Familiare Travaino at the Oratory in Via Garibaldi, the festival celebrates the fruit symbol of the season - the chestnut - with roasted chestnuts, typical dishes, and moments of conviviality that bring the community together for one of the most traditional events on the village calendar.

Autumn Celebration

When autumn arrives in Caronno Varesino - a municipality in the province of Varese - the Castagnata del Circolo Travaino returns, one of the most cherished events of the season. Organized by the Circolo Cooperativa Familiare Travaino at the Oratory on Via Garibaldi, the festival revives a popular tradition found throughout Northern Italy: the castagnata, which celebrates the arrival of forest fruits and autumn flavors.

Roasted Chestnuts and Conviviality

The absolute stars are the chestnuts, served as roasted chestnuts alongside traditional dishes, in a festive atmosphere that unites generations. The castagnata has always been an occasion for community gathering, a simple and genuine moment that speaks to the town's connection with its agricultural roots and the rhythm of the seasons.

A Tradition of the Travaino Circle

The organization is entrusted to the Circolo Travaino, an associative entity rooted in the social fabric of Caronno Varesino. As with other local events, the festival arises from the voluntary efforts of its members, demonstrating the vitality of associations in the small municipalities of the Varese area.
