Festival · September 13, 2026 · Villa Parolin Poggiani, Via Piazza Pio Forini, 5 - Gazzo Veronese (VR)
On Sunday, September 13th, the PIASE Festival 2026 makes a stop in Gazzo Veronese, at Villa Parolin Poggiani. This widespread festival of the Ecomuseo Aquae Planae (where "piase" means "pleasure" in the local dialect) runs from September 4th to October 18th, spanning 21 municipalities in the Pianura Veronese with events focused on community, movement, and the local territory. The program includes "Journey between devotion and landscape," "The artisan of the vase: visit and workshop," "Visit to the Archaeological Museum of Gazzo Veronese," and "Pianura Veronese: a widespread archaeological heritage, a single identity." For dining, "La pianura in tavola" at 12:30 PM, curated by Associazione Cuochi Veronesi and Slow Food Valli Grandi Veronesi, offers a tasting lunch that tells the collective story of the Pianura Veronese through ancient knowledge, excellent raw ingredients, and the stories of those who work the land, farm, transform, and preserve traditions daily. Many experiences require mandatory booking on the Ecomuseo website.
Indulge in a delightful tasting experience featuring local specialties. Savor Grana cheese from “L’Opera – Agricola Cazzola” paired with honey from Apicoltura Bonadiman, served with creamy polenta and cicciole from “La Boaria Nuova.” Enjoy refreshing beverages from Corte Spinelle and a rich coffee from Caffè Fusari. For dessert, a exquisite Millefoglie Stracchin from Pasticceria Perbellini awaits. The main course highlights a delicious risotto made with Riseria Grazia rice and tastasale from La Boaria Nuova, showcasing the authentic flavors of the Pianura Veronese.
