Festa della Tegolina Cornetta De.Co. e della Tagliata
The De.Co. bean from Montecchio meets the tagliata
About Festa della Tegolina Cornetta
The bean that symbolises Montecchio Maggiore
The Festa della Tegolina Cornetta De.Co. e della Tagliata celebrates in Montecchio Maggiore, in the province of Vicenza, the Tegolina Cornetta, a local variety of borlotti bean that the Municipality has recognised as a De.Co. product (Denominazione Comunale). It is harvested between August and October and is one of the most distinctive flavours of the area.
Tegolina and tagliata in the square
For two evenings (Friday and Saturday), in the small Municipio square in Via Roma, the food stand offers the tegolina cornetta paired with tagliata di carne (sliced steak), as well as hamburgers with fries and other dishes. The meat is supplied by local butchers, in a pairing that has become the festival's trademark. The stand opens at 7:00 PM.
Aperitif, music, and conviviality
The festival is enhanced by an aperitif with fried polenta on Saturday afternoon and live music on both evenings. A covered structure ensures the event can take place even in case of rain. The initiative is organised by the association Amici della Città di Montecchio (Friends of the City of Montecchio) together with Antica Macelleria Peretti, with the support of the Municipality of Montecchio Maggiore.
