Festa della Verza Moretta di Veronella
The sagra dedicated to the queen of the Bassa Veronese
About Festa della Verza Moretta
A vegetable that becomes a festival
The Festa della Verza Moretta di Veronella is the sagra that celebrates the symbolic product of Veronella, a municipality in the Bassa Veronese, Veneto: the verza moretta, a local variety with unmistakable purplish leaves. The event, organised by Pro Loco Veronella APS, has been awarded the Sagra di Qualità (Quality Sagra) mark, an award that recognises the authenticity and promotion of local products.
Three weekends of taste and tradition
The festival takes place over three weekends in the Pro Loco Event Area, in Via Corte Grande, with food stalls offering dishes made with verza moretta, accompanied by evening music, dancing, and shows. Among the most anticipated events are the Agricultural Fair and the non-competitive walk 'Tra le Verze' (Among the Savoys) with FIASP, which takes participants to discover the Veronese countryside.
The Thanksgiving Day
The heart of the event is the Giornata del Ringraziamento (Thanksgiving Day), with a historical parade accompanied by the band and a blessing, a moment that recalls the ancient bond between the community and the land. The festival concludes with the 'moretta' lottery draw, in an atmosphere that combines gastronomy, agriculture, and local identity.
