About Festa del Pomodoro
Half a century of Festa del Pomodoro
In Cappella di Scorzè, a hamlet in the municipality of Miranese in the province of Venice, the Festa del Pomodoro is a tradition that has lasted for over fifty years: founded in 1972, it brings the community together every July around the fruit that symbolizes summer. The venue is Villa Toffolo, on Via Moglianese, which also houses the Pro Loco.
