In the heart of Tuscany, among the gentle hills painted with the intense green of vineyards and the yellow of wheat fields, one of the most anticipated events of the year takes place: the Pici Festival of Chianciano Terme. It's an appointment that, punctually every second weekend of June, shines the spotlight on this culinary delight typical of the Sienese tradition.

The cobblestone streets of the historic center of Chianciano Terme come alive with irresistible colors, sounds, and aromas. The stalls fill up with steaming pici, expertly hand-pulled by the local grandmothers, who jealously pass down the secrets of this ancient recipe. The art of pasta-making here is a tradition handed down from generation to generation, and every bite is a journey back in time to the genuine flavors of days gone by.

But the Pici Festival is much more than just a gastronomic event. It's an experience that engages all the senses and celebrates the entire local culture. In addition to culinary delights, visitors can immerse themselves in popular traditions, with music and dance performances echoing in the squares, and stalls of local crafts showcasing the works of talented artists from the area.

And then there's the convivial and warm atmosphere, filled with smiles, conversations, and toasts with the excellent local wine. Families gather around long tables laden with pici, dressed with succulent sauces perfumed with basil and garlic. It's a moment of sharing and joy, where one can be carried away by the simple beauty of authentic things.
