The mixed boiled meat with pearà sauce, a Veronese tradition
As autumn gets into full swing in Bussolengo, in the province of Verona, it's time for the Festa del Bollito e Pearà, one of the most delicious events of the Bussolengo d'Autunno festival. At the Sala Polivalente Ex Bocciodromo on Via San Vittore, the star dish of the Veronese table takes centre stage: mixed boiled meat served with pearà, the famous sauce made from bread, marrow, and pepper.
Pearà is one of the symbols of Veronese cuisine, and in Bussolengo, it's prepared according to tradition. The mixed boiled meat, with its various cuts, is the perfect comfort food for cool autumn evenings. The festival is open on Thursdays and Fridays only for dinner, and on Saturdays and Sundays also for lunch, to satisfy all palates.
In addition to great food, the festival offers folk entertainment, special guests, and a kids' area with games, all in a convivial and family-friendly atmosphere. Organized by the association Le Virtù Veronesi with the support of local sponsors, it's an event that celebrates the gastronomic identity of Bussolengo and the Veronese region.
In 2026, the Festa del Bollito e Pearà will once again take place between late October and early November at the Sala Polivalente Ex Bocciodromo in Bussolengo, as part of the Bussolengo d'Autunno festival. The star will again be the mixed boiled meat served with pearà, the signature sauce of Veronese cuisine, during convivial evenings enriched by folk entertainment and a kids' area. The precise dates for the 2026 edition will be announced by the association Le Virtù Veronesi closer to the event.
