Festivals in Treviso
- a chocolate celebration, which included entire rusty tool kits made of chocolate which begged the question, ‘Why?’!!
- a raddichio fair when the entire main square was covered with a carpet of this prized local vegetable and we were able to sample such delights as raddichio cheese, raddichio wine and even raddichio gelato!
- an open-air nativity play with real animals, à la The Vicar of Dibley!
- a huge outdoor playpen for babies and toddlers featuring more toys than I have ever seen in one place.
- an Austrian wurst market.
- a skating rink.
- a picturesque Slovakian Christmas market with the best gingerbread I have ever tasted.
- a fruit and vegetable carving expo.
as well as numerous antique fairs, book markets, plant sales, art displays, craft stalls, and specialist food fairs. The list goes on. There was always something happening!
Fiat 500 Festival
As usual, we didn’t know it was in advance that the Fiat 500 Festival was on. We had been for a long walk and were heading home when we saw a few of these iconic cars heading for the city centre. We followed them and came upon about 300 massed in the Piazza dei Signori and the streets leading to it. I defy anyone not to smile when they see an example of this epitome of Italian eccentricity and here we had hundreds of them pimped, polished and paraded through the streets for all to see!!
