Farmer Stefano Cutrupi broke the record for the biggest pumpkin in the world. With 1.2 ton, the fruit was presented last September 26, at a festival in the city of Peccioli, Italy, and confirmed by Guinness World Records last Thursday (28).
The farmer said that he has been cultivating pumpkins since 2008 and that he was very happy when the brand was confirmed. “At the time of weighing, I had my back to the screen. When my friends and the audience saw the weight, they took me to the celebration. At that moment, I knew I had made it. I screamed until I lost my voice,” he told the Guinness website.

In addition to first place, Stefano also took 2nd and 3rd place in the event, with pumpkins that weighed 978.99 kg and 794.51 kg. He says there are no secrets to growing giant pumpkins.
“Like any other field, it’s about pursuing the goal with method and perseverance,” he concluded.
