The Castagnata di San Martino returns to Montaldeo on Sunday 15 November 2026 in the courtyard of Castello Doria. In the afternoon, roasted chestnuts and traditional autumn dishes are served, with residents and visitors gathered for the village festival. San Martino, whose feast day falls on 11 November, is the patron saint of Montaldeo: it was once the main festival of the village, then for years it was forgotten. The chestnut festival has brought that occasion back to life, along with the rural tradition behind it. The event is organised by the Pro Loco di Montaldeo.

Useful info

The chestnut festival takes place in the courtyard of Castello Doria. During the event, a ban on takeaway sales and on serving drinks in glass bottles or glasses is in force, issued by ordinance of the Municipality.
