Food lovers may want to try some of Tuscany's culinary delights at the Feast of San Giuseppe next month.

FLORENCE, ITALY, February 11, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- People staying in Florence hotels may want to plan a day trip to the nearby town of Siena for the Feast of San Giuseppe next month.

Held every year, the event celebrates St Joseph's day on March 19th and is an opportunity to sample some of the region's culinary delights and traditions.

The Contrada dell'Onda in Siena becomes populated by stalls and visitors can look forward to a range of tournaments, a carnival-style parade and a donkey race in the town to mark the occasion.

Pageants and bonfires are other ways that the Italians celebrate the former national holiday, according to about.com: Italy Travel.

Anyone with a sweet tooth may want to try zeppole, a pastry traditionally eaten on St Joseph's Day which is flavoured with honey, cinnamon and vanilla.

Those who are staying in Florence and want to spend a day exploring the surrounding Tuscan countryside could find that Siena, which is only an hour and a half away by train, is the perfect place to pick, especially in March.

Commenting on the Feast of San Giuseppe, Jessica Reading, head of marketing for LateRooms, said: "We strongly urge people thinking of going to the Feast of San Giuseppe and who need hotel Firenze to book early to avoid disappointment."
