Festa In Collina

Last weekend we headed down into the heart of Tuscany for the "Festa in Collina", a whole town barbecue. 
We drove about another 30 minutes south of Siena until we arrived at this small, rustic, picturesque town- Casciano di Murlo, up in the hills. 
The whole center was lined with tables, ready for the hundreds of people that would come and gobble down sausage, steak, ribs, pasta, and drink local wine and artisan beer.  
In one of the piazzas there was huge grill set up, with raw meat handing down from the ceiling ready to be grilled up. 
 When your food is hot off the grill, they'd serve it on this big wooden tray and you'd go and find a picnic table open to enjoy the delicious food with live music in the background and the smell of meat wafting through the air. Mmmm!
