Asparagus Festival

The Angiari Asparagus Festival

The Asparagus Festival is the celebration that Angiari, a municipality in the Veronese plain southeast of Verona, dedicates to its most beloved spring product. The asparagus of Basso Veronese, grown in the sandy soils along the Adige River, is celebrated here with a festival that attracts good food enthusiasts from all over the area.

Asparagus on the Table

The heart of the event are the food stalls, where Veronese asparagus is served in numerous preparations, from the classic asparagus risotto to traditional Venetian dishes. It's an opportunity to taste a vegetable that is an integral part of the region's agricultural identity.

Walks along the Adige

The festival is not just about food: the program includes walks through the rural landscape along the Adige River, with visits to historic villas in the area such as Villa Soave and Villa Fantoni. A way to combine culinary delights with the discovery of the Basso Veronese territory, amidst cultivated fields and Venetian architecture.

A Community Celebration

Organized by the Pro Loco of Angiari, part of the Consorzio Pro Loco Basso Veronese, the festival is a deeply rooted event in the life of the town, bringing together residents and visitors every spring around local flavors and traditions.
