Autumn Festival in Mattie

The Mattie Pro Loco, in collaboration with the Municipality, is organizing the Autumn Festival—featuring a traditional chestnut roast—on October 17th.

This summer's intense heat hindered the cultivation of the local *Baracafè* bean; the harvest was minimal, so the Mattie Bean Festival has been postponed until next year. However, the AUTUMN FESTIVAL and the CHESTNUT ROAST are confirmed, with a dedicated area providing information, interesting facts, and details about the *Baracafè* bean.

PROGRAM:
- 2:00 PM: Local producers' market.
Entertainment for children in a dedicated area featuring "Games and Chat" organized by the Con.i.s.a. Valle di Susa/Val Sangone Family Center and the C.S. D.A. cooperative.
- 3:00 PM: Registration and submission for the contest to find the 50 heaviest chestnuts and the heaviest pumpkin.
