If you are visiting Abruzzo in October, you may pick up the words sagre delle castagne or castagnata – which refers to a dedicated chestnut festival which is one of the many harvests and reasons to make a beeline to Abruzzo in the Autumn.
Abruzzo's vibrant festival celebrations of San Giovanni (St John the Baptist) combine the contrasting purifying elements of fire and water, creating a spectacle that ignites the senses and captures the hearts of locals and visitors alike

On Easter Monday, up in San Donato (AQ), the village hosts a Feast of Peace, when the community comes together with their neighbouring villages and walks a truce, a walk of peace known as the Festa delle Tre Madonne.
