As colourful as candy: The route of the Radichio di Treviso
It looks like a raspberry drop or artfully blown Murano glass: the red-and-white striped Radichio de Treviso. This winter vegetable with EU-protected origin has been cultivated in the province near Venice for centuries and enjoys cult status among gourmets. Even a festival is dedicated to it in Treviso.
Along the Strada del Radicchio tourist theme road, travellers can visit farms and learn about the production of Radichio di Treviso. There are also historical country villas to visit, such as Villa Cornero, built in 1552, or the Badoere Colonnade, built in 1566.
