Tradition and conviviality in Moneglia: the San Saturnino chestnut festival

A return to tradition in the village of San Saturnino

On November 1st, the village of San Saturnino, in the municipality of Moneglia, hosts the Merenda e Demua event, a seasonal celebration that renews the bond with the Ligurian territory and its autumn agricultural products. The event takes place in one of the most evocative corners of the hinterland, characterized by a preserved rural landscape and a quiet atmosphere that encourages the rediscovery of convivial habits linked to the rhythms of the land.

An experience of flavors and games

The heart of the event is the preparation of roasted chestnuts, served hot accompanied by novello wine from the Bosoni winery. The initiative, organized by the Amici di San Saturnino association, aims to enhance the autumn harvest through an essential gastronomic offer that emphasizes the quality of the raw materials and the wisdom of local tradition.

Beyond the food and wine aspect, Merenda e Demua revives the playful value of social interaction in the open air. The afternoon program involves participants in challenges inspired by local folklore, such as sack races and the red spear game. These activities are designed to create a space for intergenerational sharing, promoting play as a tool for community gathering in a landscape of particular environmental value.

Logistical details

The event will be held on Sunday, November 1st. Activities are scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM, with the distribution of roasted chestnuts and the start of the games. Participation is open to the public and no reservation is required.
