The national holiday of “Liberation Day" is on April 25^th; at Panzano the celebration of “Festa della Stagion Bona” goes back to the past with a traditional event by the Il Grondino cultural association a costumed parade,  evoking  the cruel  legend of Gherardini and Firidolfi that took place in Panzano in the 14th Century. Cruel events of the past become a celebration day thanks to the sarcastic nature of Tuscan people. During the event the village goes back to Middle-age with a costumed parade, a trial in the main square as well as fire eaters, a medieval market and food stands. The fair begins with a dramatic piece  about  the fight between the two ancient Families and the trial; this parade ends in Piazza Ricasoli, where a big buffet is organized with typical products of Tuscan tradition and, of course, Chianti  Classico as our big star!
