Celebrate the 50th edition of the Sagra dei Maroni, a traditional chestnut festival in Teolo. Enjoy delicious food stands, all under cover, featuring classic Paduan specialties. The festival runs from noon until evening, and all proceeds go towards the restoration of the Teolo church.
Indulge in traditional Paduan cuisine with specialties like pasta all'amatriciana, a hearty pasta and bean soup (pasta e fasoi), and grilled meats including chicken, pancetta, and sausage, all served with polenta. Don't miss the local 'Schisotto' and a selection of good wine.
