Suvereto

AMONG THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES IN ITALY

The town of Suvereto, in the province of Livorno

It is a land strongly dedicated the production of wine and oil, livestock and agriculture. When we say that there are more trees than human beings we do not exaggerate: the inhabitants are a little more than three thousand, but the vegetation extends as far as the eye can see, both towards the sea and inland. It is no coincidence that the name of the town derives from the Latin suber(cork) so Suvereto would be a wood of cork.

The town was awarded the “Orange Flag” of the Italian Touring Club and is part of the circuit of “The most beautiful villages in Italy“, and we are located a few kilometers from its walls Medieval, the ideal destination to get the full of food and wine in the many restaurants and wineries, but also to discover art, history and traditions.

Hystory & gastronomy

Among the most significant moments of the life of the village there are the Medieval Evenings, the Palio di Suvereto and the Boar Festival.
If you want to dive into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, on some July evenings your wish will be answered: crossing the crenellated door of the village, in fact, you will find the historic center completely transformed in order to recreate as much as possible the atmosphere of a festive evening of many centuries ago. Public lighting is attenuated, appear craftsmen and people in period costume, points of refreshment and itinerant shows, and the The Palio takes place twice a year, in May and August, and provides that the teams representing the terzieri (Castello, San Francesco and Borgo) and the hamlets (Forni and Ferriere, Prata, Belvedere and San Lorenzo) push a barrel of 5 quintals through the streets of the historic center, trying to go straight the as much as possible and get to the finish line first.
Much less adrenaline and even more revelry at the Boar Festival, which takes place from more than half century in the month of December to enhance the local products, gastronomy, crafts and traditions of the area: the streets of Suvereto turn into great outdoor restaurants, where you you can enjoy recipes based on wild boar, chestnuts and new wine, but not only!
