The popular annual event in Terranuova Bracciolini, Italy (in Tuscany’s Valdarno area), often referred to as a great feast or fair, is the Fiera del Perdono (Feast/Fair of Forgiveness).
This long-standing event, dating back to 1615, is a major celebration for the area, often drawing thousands of visitors.
Key Features
* Ancient Tradition: It has deep historical roots, originally an agricultural fair and a “feast of forgiveness” with probable religious origins.
* Timing: It typically takes place in late September or early October, marking the end of summer and the start of autumn.
* Atmosphere: It transforms the town into a huge, lively market and festival.
* Attractions: You’ll find a large market with hundreds of stalls selling everything from traditional tools and local products to crafts and curiosities. There’s often a livestock show, a fair of decoy birds, an Antiques Fair, a funfair (Luna Park), and traditional entertainment like fireworks and sometimes sports races.
* Food: As with any Italian festa or sagra, it’s a great opportunity to enjoy local food and wine specialties from the Valdarno region. 🍷🇮🇹
