When does the Torciata di San Giuseppe take place?

The Torciata di San Giuseppe takes place every year on March 19th, in the evening, in Pitigliano, in the province of Grosseto. This is the date of the main event, with the torchlight procession and the traditional fire; the exact time may vary depending on the edition.

Entertainment may be organized in the days before, but it does not replace the evening of the 19th. If you are planning your stay, check the program for the relevant year before booking: times and associated events may change. The Torciata is above all a popular festival and a fire rite, not a gastronomic or wine event in the strict sense. Stalls or tastings may accompany certain editions, but it is best not to count on them without checking the program.
