In the medieval village of Stroncone, from 11 to 26 October 2025, the event Autunno a Stroncone returns to celebrate the most colourful season of the year through food, art, music and workshops. Three themed weekends — dedicated to mushrooms and truffles, wine and chestnuts, and olive oil — will enliven the historic centre with activities for all ages.

The first weekend (11–12 October) will focus on mushrooms and truffles, with a talk by mycologist Enrico Bini, food stands, live music, and an itinerant dinner through the village streets featuring truffle tagliolini and traditional dishes. Sunday will host activities for children and families, including storytelling sessions and tastings of local products.

The second weekend (18–19 October) will celebrate wine and chestnuts, with creative workshops, guided tours, live performances and another itinerant dinner, featuring seasonal flavours such as speck, chestnuts and local roasts.

The final weekend (25–26 October) will be dedicated to olive oil, with cultural events, drawing and ceramics workshops, guided tours and family-friendly activities. Sunday’s programme will include games, music and shows for children, as well as chestnut-themed events.

Throughout the festival, food stands in Piazza della Libertà will offer chestnut desserts, wine and roasted chestnuts every day. The programme also includes art and photography exhibitions, the display “Magie d’Autunno: Colours and Flavours of Stroncone” with school projects, and a recipe exchange space dedicated to autumn ingredients.
