The castagnaro, the historic street vendor of roasted chestnuts, breathes life into the alleys of old town centers with his ancient brazier. A sensory and emotional journey awaits you among these urban corners, transformed into small theaters of warmth, memory, and conviviality.
Between narrow alleys and ancient buildings, the thick smoke and unmistakable aroma of chestnuts over the fire draw in passersby and tourists in a ritual repeated every winter.
Skilled hands, marked by charcoal, move the large perforated pans with a steady rhythm, while the glow of the embers illuminates the coldest evenings.
The traditional coppi—cones made of rough paper—become the keepers of a piping-hot treasure, offering a moment of pause and sharing along the hurried paths of the city.
