About Fiera dei Santi Pietro e Paolo
Three Centuries of History
The Antica Fiera dei Santi Pietro e Paolo is one of the oldest traditions in Villafranca di Verona, in the province of Verona. Established in 1714 in honour of the patron saints Peter and Paul, celebrated on June 29th, it has grown over the centuries, transforming from an original livestock market into a grand festival of artisanal products, gastronomy, and entertainment.
Veronese Flavours on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II
The heart of the fair are the food and wine stalls featuring local products from the Verona area, set up along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. Among the featured specialities are the sfogliatine di Villafranca, tortellini di Valeggio, gnocchi, and riso all'isolana, also offered in culinary demonstrations. The fair enlivens the historic centre for several days with a widespread festive atmosphere.
Concerts, Shows, and Fireworks
The programme includes concerts, dance shows, orchestra performances, sports competitions, art exhibitions, and the unmissable funfair, open for several days. Among the most evocative events are the evening openings of the Scaligero Castle and events in Piazza Giovanni XXIII. The fair concludes in style with a grand fireworks display. The event is organised by the Municipality of Villafranca di Verona.
