About Prosciutto and Melon Festival Schiavonia
Schiavonia's Summer at the Table
The Prosciutto and Melon and Mixed Fry Festival is the summer festival of the hamlet of Schiavonia, in Este, in the province of Padua. A culinary event that each year draws residents from the village and surrounding towns to a food stand open every evening.
The Flavors of the Festival
The stars are the traditional summer Venetian dishes: prosciutto and melon, gramigna pasta with sausage, mixed fried dishes, and other local specialties. The cuisine, prepared by local volunteers, accompanies evenings of live music and dancing in a popular and family-friendly atmosphere.
A Community Celebration
Like many festivals in the lower Padua region, the Schiavonia festival is above all an opportunity for the local community to gather, transforming a small hamlet into a summer meeting point thanks to the work of volunteers.
