The quaint village of Stiappa held its annual ferragosto festa – ‘Sagra del Beccutino on Sunday 15th August 2014.

Stiappa is one of the 10 villages that form le Dieci Castella (the 10 castles) in the Pesciatina valley (also known as Svizzera Pesciatina – little Switzerland).  Normally the village is quiet, however, like many of these Tuscan hill villages,
they come alive during the summer months, and especially during the festa.

Here is a post on 2015’s event
