The chestnut tree is of primary importance in the history of our valley, both for the fruit to the trunk. The association must verify the real possibility of sale on the market.

1. Organisation of an advertising campaign of the product.
2. Introduction of new quality systems and of the various systems of picking and processing, control of local varieties such as the “marroncino” of Sacco and others..
3. Organization of the sale.
4. Marketing of the products of chestnut and its wood.

For the territory:
Landscaping, chestnut retrieval for an impact on tourism and the fire protection.
From the Economy standpoint:
allows to Valgerola and other mountain regions to exploit the potential that is currently abandoned and create attractive income.
The project demonstrates that it is possible to re-evaluate traditional resources which hitherto were thought to be unrecoverable.
It is an innovation at the provincial level that can be extended to all abandoned sites used as chestnut groves.
