Carletti and Bruscandoli Festival
The first festival in Agna dedicated to wild spring herbs
About Carletti and Bruscandoli Festival
Wild Herbs on the Table
In Agna, a municipality in the Bassa Padovana area of the province of Padua, the Carletti and Bruscandoli Festival makes its debut, a festival dedicated to the wild herbs of Venetian tradition. The stars are carletti (the tender leaves of silene) and bruscandoli (wild hop shoots), harvested in spring and cooked according to local recipes.
Chef Moira Lazzarin's Cuisine
The menu is curated by chef Moira Lazzarin, who reinterprets these humble, seasonal ingredients into dishes designed to rediscover the authentic flavors of the Paduan countryside. The gastronomic stand opens in the evening from 7:30 PM, with takeaway options available.
A Festival by Pro Loco
The event is organized by Pro Loco Agna and takes place in the courtyard of the 'E. De Amicis' school, on Via Roma. As it is the first edition, the festival aims to become a new regular spring event in Agna, linked to the cycle of the seasons and the herbs that grow wild along the ditches and fields of the area.
