The Lessini Mountains, north of Verona, are very weel known by locals only.
Already from the1950s several people from downtown Verona would spend their long summer holidays there: they would call it
villeggiatura, but today we would say "coolcation".
When the summer heat in the city of Verona gets unbearable, typically in July and August, we know what to do: we head to Lessinia for enjoying enchented natural scenery, cool weather and great food.
It is Lnot just about excaping the heat: it is also about immersing in a very green and relaxing natural landscape, dotted by charming Medieval villages.
It is the Italian Pre Alps: high lands that are still unexploited, a real dupe for the Swiss meadows!
Our lunch is based on the very famous local
Monte Veronese POD hard cheese and includes a dish of local
gnochi sbatui, the oldest type of dumplings of our cuisine, made of very few ingredients: flour, salt, butter, and smoked
ricotta cheese.
A slow day out of mass tourism in the Lessinia Natural Park on the mountains next door!
