All the Pumpkin Patch in Italy: my Definitive List

The term “Pumpkin Patch” refers to a cultural phenomenon that has gone viral, especially in recent years. Literally translated as “pumpkin garden,” it refers to places, often located in rural or agricultural areas, where farmers allow visitors to pick their own pumpkins directly from the fields.

In the period leading up to Halloween, this fun tradition was born in the United States: the Pumpkin Patch. Families visit these farms or vast fields to choose their favorite pumpkin to take home for carving, painting, or simply decorating their homes.

Although the tradition of carving and decorating pumpkins is more Anglo-Saxon than Italian, the Pumpkin Patch in Italy has grown significantly in number. Social media has played a major role, but more importantly, the widespread adoption of Halloween with all its fun traditions related to mystery, horror-themed costumes, and seasonal food—such as pumpkins!

These fascinating locations, originally designed as destinations for families, offer a unique autumn experience that goes far beyond simply picking pumpkins.
This article will explore both the origins of the Pumpkin Patch and how it has won over Italians of all ages. It will also provide a region-by-region list of places where you can actually pick and carve pumpkins in Italy.

The Origins of the Pumpkin Patch

The idea of the Pumpkin Patch has deep roots in American culture, where the tradition of selecting pumpkins for Halloween has always been a special moment for families. The “you-pick” pumpkin fields are part of a tradition that originated from the legend of Jack O’Lantern, which involves carving, painting, and lighting up large pumpkins to decorate homes and gardens during the week of Halloween.

In the last five years, enthusiasm for Halloween, with themed parties and Pumpkin Garden decorations, has spread to Italy as well, bringing with it the arrival of “you-pick” pumpkin fields, where visitors can personally harvest their pumpkins. These places not only offer the chance to buy pumpkins for carving, but they also organize themed workshops, especially for children.

Initially, these fields were opened solely for pumpkin picking, but over the years, they have transformed into full-fledged autumn-themed parks, ranging from small, charming farms to large attractions. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, including corn mazes, educational experiences with farm animals, and live entertainment.
