Gnocchi with new potatoes and Vicenza cuisine over two July weekends
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 on the local calendar. It takes place in July over two weekends and is organized by the parish community of the hamlet.
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 food stand offers fresh pasta (with ragù, tomato, sausage and radicchio, duck ragù), grilled meats with luganega sausage, pancetta, chicken wings, and salami sausage, served with polenta, sandwiches with cheese and soppressa (a type of salami), side dishes like beans, mushrooms, and fries, and fritters for dessert.
Every evening, the food stand is complemented by entertainment for children, including face painting and activities, and by live music or DJ sets. There are also moments dedicated to the little ones, with music, games, and baby dance, making it a festival designed for the whole family.
The Sagra di San Benedetto is an authentic expression of Venetian conviviality: traditional cuisine, volunteers at work, and evenings spent together, in a hilly hamlet in the Val d'Agno that becomes a meeting point for the entire area for two weekends.
