The Veneto is a northern Italian region, lying between the base of the Alps and the Adriatic to the south. It has rich soil, a good climate, and as a result, produces rice, many wonderful vegetables, wild and domestic animals, and much dairy produce. The Veneto also forms part of the ‘polenta, bean and rice belt’ of Italy, and risotti, pulses and a beautiful white polenta are more prevalent than pasta. Desserts are beloved in the Veneto. There are many pasticcerie, and shops selling gelati or ice cream. Don’t forget about the wonderful Venetian prosecco (the grapes are grown in Treviso), and grappa, which comes from Vicenza. There is so much to discover and enjoy!
