Finally, after a long wait for all the lovers of the typical tastes and flavours of Mount Baldo, the 13th Black Truffle Festival, that goes beyond the traditional gastronomic appointment, offers exhibitions, tastings, street events and folklore. For lovers of this “Fruit of the Earth” it will be an opportunity to highlight its uniqueness, proposing and enhancing the local and natural product.

Venue of the event will be the central square of the country where marquees will be set up and typical truffle dishes will be offered, all accompanied by music and entertainment for the duration of the event. About 1,700 m of marquees will welcome visitors for the tastings of the excellent dishes based on this underground mushroom such as gnocchi, lasagna, polenta, carpaccio, meat espadrilles, bruschetta, cheese and other specialties.

The prestigious Montebaldina Fair finally returns, finding its root in the territory, tradition, products and typical flavours of Baldo. An important event, now in its 269th edition, is among the oldest in the area of Verona, created with the aim of retracing the cultural activities and enhancing the food and wine products of Baldo and savouring its traditions and roots. It is a reference point for local communities (and not only) with the aim to promote and boost the providers of quality products and services in the area.

The fair will involve the centre of the town with exhibitions and expositions. Piazza Stringa will host food and wine stands of “Baldo da gustare”, an experience that will bring to life the flavours of the traditions with a culinary offer featuring Baldo’s products: rice, wine, cheese, cold cuts, fresh pasta, black truffles, and not only. Five days full of events of culture, folklore, and popular traditions for adults and children who will have fun in the Luna Park are dedicated to them.

Pazzon is a village in the community of Caprino Veronese and it is the starting point for a beautiful loop walk that from the centre of Pazzon descends towards the valley of the Tasso stream to reach Porcino and then come back up to Pazzon.

The 17th-century Venetian villa of Palazzo Carlotti

The work “Il Compianto sul Cristo morto”, after eight years of restoration, has returned to Caprino, its town of origin, inaugurated with an official ceremony at the town hall of Palazzo Carlotti. Attributed to the Master of St. Anastasia, the sculptural group consists of the life-size Christ laid in the shroud. In this representation, the dead body of Jesus is central, whose face becomes the narration of suffering, the anguish and the human tragedy of death itself. At the head, he is supported by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who have the lower parts of their limbs and forearms removed. Finally, among the figures of Jesus’ mourners, there are the sculptures of John, his favourite apostle, his mother and two pious women who, according to the Gospel of John, can be identified as Mary of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.
