Montagnana (Veneto)

Montagnana is a town in the province of Padova, in Veneto. Neighbouring communes are Saletto, Megliadino San Fidenzio, Casale di Scodosia, Urbana, Bevilacqua, Pojana Maggiore, Pressana, Minerbe and Roveredo di Guà. The town is part of the 'I Borghi più belli d'Italia' association (the most beautiful villages in Italy). The huge wall circuit surrounding Montagnana, reinforced by 24 hexagonal towers with Guelph battlements, has four openings (gateways) and show its grandeur on the north-east side. From the “piazzola di Giorgione” you can see the detachment, for colour and construction type, between the 13th-century section of the walls and the 14th-century section of the walls of the Carrara area, built with trachyte blocks alternating with brickwork.

Recipes

Wrap your hands around a bowl of pasta e fasoi, Venetian-style pasta, and bean soup, rich and nourishing and as murky as La Serenissima herself but much better-tasting.

Recipes

A beloved classic from Venice, this dish is perfect for spring when fresh peas abound and can easily be adapted for vegetarians.

Bigoli (or bigoi in the Veneto dialect) are a thick, spaghetti-like pasta typical of the Veneto and eastern Lombardy.

@barryahoy asks:

More of a comment than a question. I lived in Italy (Latina) for about a year (1979 and 1980). During that time I visited Venice roughly three times through out the seasons. During each visit, I was able to walk on St Mark's Square without getting my feet wet.
