Torchlight procession in Santa Fiora

Back in Santa Fiora is the long-awaited appointment with the traditional Torchlight Parade, a celebration held in the Amiata village on Monday, Dec. 30, from 6 p.m. until late at night.


Fire will be the great protagonist of this magical evening that anticipates the New Year's Eve celebrations.


Bringing light and warmth to those present will be the lighting of the coals starting from sunset, these are giant stacks of wood placed since the previous days in the main square and other small squares in the historic center.


The pile in front of City Hall will be lit with acetylene lamps from the miners. From the flames of that coal pile will then be lit flashlights that will be carried in procession to light the other coal piles. The town will come alive with live music in each small square and the opening of frasche, or refreshment stands run by local associations, where various typical specialties can be tasted.
