The Oratorio di San Giovanni di Polaveno, together with the Alpini and Artiglieri groups, invites you to a Castagnata, a traditional chestnut festival, featuring lunch in a heated stand. Enjoy a menu with hearty options like trippa or pasta with ragù, alongside other special dishes. The afternoon brings fun for all ages with a tombola game, a workshop for kids, and a delicious snack of roasted chestnuts (caldarroste), mulled wine (vin brulé), and hot chocolate. All proceeds support the local parish and oratorio activities.
Indulge in classic Italian comfort food like pasta with rich ragù sauce or the traditional trippa, a local specialty. You'll also find crispy french fries, creamy polenta, and delicious desserts. For a quick bite, try the 'pane e salamina' (sausage sandwich), grilled porchetta, or melted cheese. Don't miss the freshly roasted chestnuts (caldarroste), a highlight of the festival, perfectly paired with mulled wine (vin brulé), hot chocolate, or tea. Coffee and water are also available.
