Whether eaten roasted, in the form of chestnut gnocchi or as marrons glacés, chestnuts are enjoying a renaissance – as are many traditional Ticino delicacies. Once chestnuts were the "bread of the poor", roasted in old smoking huts or "grà". Today, chestnut trails lead through the forests, and in the autumn, chestnuts appear on the menu of just about every restaurant.
