Festa della Castagna takes place north of Rome.

The 2023 chestnut festival takes place at Vallerano, a small town located about 60 km northwest of Rome, over four weekends in October and on 1 November.

The festivities of the 21st edition of the Festa della Castagna are centred around the locally-harvested chestnuts - which can be enjoyed roasted - accompanied by wine, music and dancing.

Festival events take place on the weekends on 14-15, 21-22 and 28-29 October as well as on Wednesday 1 November.
