The protagonist of the event is the "San Mauro" chestnut harvested in San Rocco di Piegara, a traditional product of the Veronese mountains. Referred to by the Latins as the "acorn of the gods," it is cultivated and harvested following traditional methods. The term marroni describes large chestnuts, but, in reality, size is based on a divided impression. The flesh of the marrone, sweet and tasty, does not break down during cooking and is characterized by its high nutritional value. Thanks to its significant content, this fruit from the Lessini mountains has always represented a fundamental resource for the mountain dwellers and is highly appreciated on Veronese tables.
San Rocco di Piegara, a fraction of Roverè Veronese, is preparing and offering five dates filled with events to greet the return of the autumn fruit in the Lessini Mountains.
