Cave. Chestnuts, Walnuts and Hazelnuts

The territory of Cave is characterized by extensive woods of chestnuts and walnuts that produce nationally known fruit.

In the past, chestnuts were one of the key foods in the population nutrition during the winter months.

In its honour one of the main festivals of Cave is celebrated as the festival of chestnuts (sagra della castagna).
