About this event
The Biennale Europea d’Arte Fabbrile returns to Stia in 2026 as a special edition marking the 50th anniversary of this celebrated gathering of artistic ironwork. Around the Palagio Park and the footbridge over the Arno, hundreds of blacksmiths from Italy and abroad forge live pieces, take part in competitions and exhibit their sculptures and design objects. Beyond the workshops and forging contests, visitors enjoy an outdoor gallery of wrought-iron art set against the Casentino landscape. Free access to the exhibition areas, with event programming announced closer to the date.
Happens every year.
Wool, iron and wood: what the valley makes, and where to watch it being made.
