The Lessini Mountains, north of Verona, are very well known to locals only.
Already from the 1950s 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 enchanted natural scenery, cool weather and great food.
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!
