National Fair of the Chestnut coming this weekend in Cuneo

The National Fair of the Chestnut (Fiera Nazionale del Marrone), in its 17th edition, will take place in Cuneo from the 16th to the 18th of October 2015. A fair where chestnuts are roasted in braziers set up along the city, it is considered one of the most important food and wine events in Italy, unique showcase of excellence and of Cuneo's  ancient traditions. 

Hundreds of exhibitors, carefully selected from a pool of experts, fill Cuneo's historic center for three days. Wandering the main squares of the old town, immersed in aromas, flavors and colors, visitors can taste the best of Italy and Europe.

This year, the Fair returns to Via Roma, where visitors can admire the beautiful medieval buildings now refurbished.

Cuneo can be reached by train, freeway, and plane landing in Genoa or Nice airport.
