The Committee at San Pietro in Campo have outdone themselves once again this year with the Festa della Trebbiatura. What started out as a small festa in the village to celebrate using the old machinery and tractors to thresh the grain and prepare bales of straw has in the space of just four years blossomed into a full blown festival of the old traditions once used in this area with everything from bread making, grain preparing and even to roasting grain to make “coffee”. They have also organised inside this event for the second year a painting competition- “Il Grano e la Trebbiatura -- Colori e sensazioni del mondo rurale” which now attracts many artists from the Tuscany who come to San Pietro in Campo to paint for the day but the real crowd puller was once again the magnificent tractors and agricultural machinery that were on display.
