Festival · October 18, 2026 · Corte Poiana al Bosco, Via Bosco, 7 - Bovolone (VR)
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the PIASE Festival makes a stop in Bovolone, at Corte Poiana al Bosco. This widespread festival from the Ecomuseo Aquae Planae (where "piase" means "pleasure" in dialect) runs from September 4 to October 18, traversing 21 municipalities in the Veronese Plain with events focused on community, movement, and local heritage. The Bovolone program includes "Country Chronicles: Cycling Through the Courtyards of Bovolone," an "Animated Tour of Corte Poiana al Bosco," "From Earth to Painting," and "On the Threshing Floor and on the Water: A Contemporary Galzega" – a scenic performance of theater, dance, and participation. For lunch, don't miss "La pianura in tavola" at 12:30 PM, curated by the Associazione Cuochi Veronesi and Slow Food Valli Grandi Veronesi. This tasting lunch is a collective narrative of the Veronese Plain, blending ancient knowledge, excellent raw ingredients, and stories from those who work the land, raise livestock, transform produce, and preserve traditions daily. Many experiences require mandatory booking via the Ecomuseo website.
Indulge in a delightful tasting experience featuring a selection of mixed cured meats from "Azienda Agricola La Palazzina" paired with "Citres" pickles, and creamy polenta with lardo. Enjoy a refreshing Corte Spinelle beverage and finish with a delicious Lievitato from LaLaLand Patisserie served with KORI gelato, accompanied by a rich Caffè Fusari. The meal also includes a comforting Pasta e fagioli made with "Pastificio Mozzo" linguine, all served with artisanal bread and grissini from Forno Atipico.
