The 22nd Fiera del Bollito con la Pearà in Isola della Scala returns from November 14 to December 1 to celebrate autumn’s warm and comforting flavors. This traditional fair boasts various authentic regional dishes and live entertainment for any palate and age group.
Bollito con la pearà, a traditional meal of boiling pork topped with a peppery bread sauce, will take center stage, along with fifty other seasonal options. Among the highlights will be a selection of risottos prepared by the specialist Mastri Risottari. Aside from the well-known risotto “all’isolana,” expect seasonal favorites such as pumpkin risotto and numerous dishes created with the prestigious Nano Vialone Veronese IGP rice. Guests can also shop for local products, including rice-based specialties, in the festival’s Borgo del Riso, which has been reimagined to focus on rice and associated products.
Entertainment line-up
The fair isn’t only about food; it also promises a diverse program of live performances. Headlining musical acts include Paolo Benvegnù, who will perform songs from Piccoli Fragilissimi Film – Reloaded to mark 20 years in music, and comedian Paolo Cevoli with a one-man show that’s sure to delight fans. For free performances, headliners include Meganoidi and other popular acts.
