19 October, “Chestnut Festival” 2025It was another beautiful day! The beautiful weather accompanied us, and like every year, we met at the entrance to Arcidosso for a hearty breakfast, and then we all lined up with our five-wheelers, honking our horns, heading towards the festival.
Thanks to the volunteers of Coordination of Monte Amiata Our legendary cars have found their place, neatly parked in a row, polished for the occasion, in an explosion of colors and a variety of models.
There was no shortage of visitors, who had their photos taken alongside our little ones, reminiscing about the past. A lovely stroll through the town center was also a must, admiring the numerous stalls selling traditional products.
When lunchtime arrived we headed to the facility “Fairy's Nest” where, thanks to the Pro Loco staff, we were able to enjoy an excellent lunch with local specialties and, of course, chestnuts.
During lunch we were honored by the presence of the President of the Tuscany Region Eugenio Giani and the mayor of Arcidosso Jacopo Marini, to whom we donated the Fiat 500 Club Italia plaque.
To end the day, a good coffee and a last trip to the party before slowly returning home with our 500s. Thanks to all the crews, to the Club and to the members of the Pro Loco who made this event possible. See you at the Chestnut Festival 2026.
