Rice fields and Renaissance cities: The rice route near Verona

The flat, water-rich plain south of Verona is rice country: it has been since the 15th century. The centre of production is the small town of Isola della Scala - from there the Strada del Riso Vialone also leads through the fascinating cultural landscape.
If you drive along it, you will discover centuries-old mills and modern rice silos. Romanesque chapels and Venetian trade offices. Ancient Roman settlements and pretty Renaissance towns. In addition, numerous trattorias along the way invite you to try risotto dishes in in all variations.
