About Carletti and Bruscandoli Festival

In Agna, in the Bassa Padovana region, a new festival dedicated to the territory's wild herbs is born. The Carletti and Bruscandoli Festival celebrates two typical spring ingredients from the Veneto region: carletti (silene) and bruscandoli (wild hop shoots), the stars of a menu curated by chef Moira Lazzarin. From May 30 to June 1, 2026, in the courtyard of the 'E. De Amicis' school, the Pro Loco Agna will offer an evening gastronomic stand with seasonal dishes and takeaway options. A first edition that enhances the forgotten flavors of the Paduan countryside.

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.
