Among the woods of Mount Amiata, Vivo d’Orcia renews in 2026 one of the most recognisable food events of the autumn season: the Sagra del Fungo e della Castagna.
The dates listed in public calendars are 12 and 19 October 2026. The village, a hamlet of Castiglione d’Orcia, celebrates woodland products with dishes based on mushrooms and chestnuts, in an ideal setting for visitors who want to discover the Amiata side of the Val d’Orcia during foliage season.
The festival is connected with Pro Loco Vivo d’Orcia and with the local tradition of the Palio del Boscaiolo, an identity-forming element for the village and its community life. Before travelling, it is advisable to check the final programme, food-stand opening times and organisational updates.
