Piacenza in Festa

The village festival of Piacenza d'Adige

Piacenza in Festa is the annual festival of Piacenza d'Adige, a municipality in the Bassa Padovana region bordering the Polesine area, in the province of Padova. Every year, between late May and early June, the event brings the Sports Facilities on Via Rivalon to life, transforming them into the convivial heart of the village thanks to the efforts of A.S.D. Piacenza d'Adige.

A Table Between Tradition and Taste

The absolute star is the gastronomy, served in a large outdoor dining area. The menu ranges from Venetian cuisine classics to more refined dishes: succulent ribs, braised meats, and sizzling sausages on the grill, inviting plates of 'bigoli alla piacentina' pasta, tasty slices of 'musetto', and typical codfish dishes served with warm slices of polenta and refreshing lagers. To complete the meal, artisanal sweet specialties from local pastry shops.

Music and Dancing Under the Stars

The evenings of Piacenza in Festa are accompanied by music and dancing, in a tried-and-tested formula that brings together entire families and groups of friends during the days around the Republic Day holiday. An authentic festival, far from the major tourist circuits, that showcases the convivial spirit of the Bassa Padovana communities.

Piacenza d'Adige, Between Padova and Polesine

Nestled on the left bank of the Adige River, Piacenza d'Adige is an agricultural village on the border between the provinces of Padova and Rovigo. Its festival is an opportunity to discover a less-traveled corner of the Venetian plain, where village traditions remain alive and well-attended.
