From November 27th to December 11th 2011 in Suvereto - Livorno - the now famous Wild Boar Festival, Art and Folklore will be held.
Description of the event taken from the site of the municipality of Suvereto:
What is the Wild Boar Festival, Art and Folklore? It is now for us Suveretani a tradition and a piece of us.
It is an event that has been repeated for more than 40 years now and that is renewed in its contents but does not change its objectives: good gastronomy, enhancement of typical products and promotion of the territory; all lived in a typically medieval environment.
The ideal stage is the village with its alleys, squares, cloisters and its artistic jewels. Along the streets interesting exhibitions will be appreciated, street performances will delight visitors, while historical re-enactments will arouse admiration. There will be archers, musicians, insignia ... ... all symbols of a past world. But sometimes symbols count more than things: they create them, as they create the festival and its lively and festive atmosphere. Here the peasant traditions are celebrated, as in the ancient vigils, the feelings of friendship and welcome are exalted.
The Suveretans, people proud of their roots, will be able to welcome you with an open and curious soul, offering flavors, images and colors that make the winter of these parts different, almost transforming it into a mild season of delights.
And the delights of the products of the earth and the forest, which have allowed Suvereto to be included in the national circuits of the City of Wine and City of Oil Associations, will not fail to satisfy the most demanding palates. There are many refreshment points, set up in the historic center, where you can taste recipes of the typical local cuisine based on wild boar, with sausage, steaks and slices of roasted polenta. All seasoned and washed down, of course, with oil and wine from Suvereto, typical leading products now renowned and appreciated.
In Suvereto, the Valorization Body is a reality that, since 1968, has been committed to the development of its territory and wants to be, today as yesterday, still a protagonist. It is, thanks to the commitment and work of its many volunteers who with industriousness and enthusiasm make possible the realization of this and other important events, making this event an indispensable moment for the life of the town and continuing, with renewed energy, to project it into the future.
