Festival in San Benedetto of Trissino

The Festival of San Benedetto of Trissino

In San Benedetto di Trissino, a hamlet of the municipality of Trissino in the province of Vicenza, the summer festival is one of the most cherished events in the local calendar. It takes place in July over two weekends and is organized by the parish community of the hamlet.

Gnocchi with New Potatoes

The signature dish of the festival is handmade gnocchi with new potatoes, served with various sauces: ragù, butter and sage, mascarpone and pepper, radicchio and sausage, duck ragù. Alongside the gnocchi, the stand offers fresh pasta (with ragù, tomato, sausage and radicchio, duck ragù), grilled meats with luganega sausage, pancetta, chicken wings, and salami paste accompanied by polenta, sandwiches with cheese and soppressa, side dishes like beans, mushrooms, and fries, and fritters for dessert.

Two Weekends of Celebration

Every evening, the food stand is complemented by entertainment for children, with face painting and activities, and by live music or DJ sets. There are also moments dedicated to the youngest, with music, games, and baby dance, for a festival designed for the whole family.

A Community Festival

The Festival of San Benedetto is the authentic expression of Venetian conviviality: traditional cuisine, volunteers at work, and evenings spent together, in a hilly hamlet of the Agno Valley that for two weekends becomes a meeting point for the entire area.
