Marola, in the municipality of Carpineti in the Reggio Emilia Apennines, is synonymous with chestnuts!

On Sundays, October 11, 18, and 25, 2026, the tradition of the Chestnut Festival—which has been running for over 60 years—will be celebrated once again: Roasted chestnuts will take center stage at the event, along with a market featuring stalls selling local specialties, traditional dishes to sample, and mulled wine in the town square.

Planned activities include:

  • orienteering for children (available throughout the month of October) and on the three Sundays of the festival; those who complete the course will receive a free snack.
  • A refreshment area at the village school, with the option to eat at tables outside the school or in the town square (self-service).
