IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SPECIAL MENUS MUST BE REQUESTED IN ADVANCE
Certaldo specialities
The Certaldo onion boasts a long and storied past: Mentioned by Boccaccio in The Decameron and featured on the town's coat of arms, which once bore the motto: "By nature I am strong yet sweet / And please both those at rest and those who work."
This unique variety of red onion has been cultivated since the Middle Ages, when the Alberti counts—feudal lords of the medieval town during the 12th century—added it to their official banner. It grows exclusively in the green Certaldo countryside, deriving its distinctive flavor from the sulfur-rich soil found in these parts.

"e ivi presso correva un fiumicel di vernaccia, della migliore che mai si bevve"
FORNO MODERNO
The Historic Bakery of Certaldo
With its unique
specialties, inventive creations, and awards for originality and product
quality, this bakery has become a benchmark for enogastronomic
innovation and excellence in Certaldo and beyond.
In 2016, a panel of ASET food-and-wine journalists specializing in agri-food excellence awarded the La Rossa brothers, owners of Forno Moderno, for making "the best schiacciata fiorentina all'olio" (Florentine olive oil flatbread).
Participants of the Magnalonga del Boccaccio will have the chance to taste this celebrated delicacy!
