The appointment with the scents and flavours of Elba's autumn - now in its fourth edition - presents a week full of events: traditional festivals (Festa d'Autunno in Marciana and Castagnata in Poggio), numerous hikes and walks, outdoor workshops, music, theatre, activities with schools and cultural meetings.
The event is organised by the Municipality of Marciana and Pro Loco Marciana Elba with the collaboration and support of numerous partners.
Launched in 2020 as part of e-art (a project of the Marciana municipality characterising actions aimed at enhancing the territory, sustainability and cultural heritage), this event was created to promote the autumn period from a cultural, environmental, tourism and food and wine perspective. A week of intense intercultural exchange with initiatives aimed at raising awareness of the territory, its cultural identity and landscape, networking between communities and external actors, experimenting with creativity, exploring food, sharing the challenges of the sustainable economy and bringing the social dimension of the island to life.
