The rock star of Chestnut: Sicignano one!
Among the valleys along the Tanagro river there are the Dolomiti del sud (Southern Dolomites), that is the Monti Alburni (Alburni Mountains) where chestnut trees and their delicious fruits rule, together with Mediterranean scrub and beech trees.
To celebrate the delicious chestnuts from the Alburni mountains, every year the chestnut of Sicignano degli Alburni fair (Sicignano degli Alburni Chestnut Festival) takes place: three days of roast chestnuts, local food and fun.
