The Wild Boar Festival of Certaldo, in the province of Florence, is back for the 25th edition, from 10 April to 2 May 2015.
The festival of boar in Certaldo it was born in 1990 when a group of hunters straplai put their strength together to give life to this event which over the years has met with considerable success and is also known outside the region. Amateur Sports Association "Canard-Fiorentina", as the association that manages it is called, is very active in the world of charity collaborating with various local realities such as:
"The heart melts" long distance adoptions;
Parish of San Tommaso di Certaldo;
Italian Red Cross blood donors group of Certaldo;
Parents' Association "disabled of Certaldo";
Autism Association “Casa di Ventignano di Fucecchio”;
Uganda Aid Association.
And finally we collaborate with the ANPI in their initiatives aimed at enhancing what was the resistance on our territory during the Second World War. The secret is not there, if not to work hard and with commitment so that this festival is ever more successful. In reality there would be a secret, our cooks who are our mothers or our wives who with their skill and their recipes make the festival a moment in which to meet, enjoying dishes such as jugged wild boar, pappardelle , polenta with wild boar sauce, penne with mushrooms.
For a few years we have also been serving roast roe deer which is enjoying enormous success and many other dishes that we would not taste except at the Certaldo wild boar festival. The event takes place in Viale Matteotti n.201, at the Centro Comunale Polivalente, a recently built room with all the necessary comforts, ample parking and adjacent, the cycle path and the Canonica park where you can take a nice walk while enjoying Boccaccio's landscape of the city.
