The Vialone Nano Mantovano Rice Fair: A Culinary Journey

The beating heart of Lombardy’s agricultural tradition returns to Mantua with the Vialone Nano Mantovano Rice Fair. From October 13 to November 1, 2026, the city honors one of the region’s finest gastronomic treasures, establishing itself as a premier destination for lovers of authentic cuisine.

For sixteen years, this event has served as a tribute to rice culture. The star of the show is the Vialone Nano, a variety renowned for its exceptional ability to absorb flavors, enhancing every organoleptic nuance. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to savor the legendary Riso alla Pilota, a symbol of local culinary wisdom, prepared according to traditional recipes passed down through generations by local associations.

The fair is more than just a tasting event; it is a celebration of the terroir. A commitment to raw ingredient quality and seasonal produce ensures that every dish offers a complete sensory experience. We invite you to discover the secrets of this noble crop in a setting where conviviality meets history. For those wishing to explore the roots of this region, a visit to Mantua and its surroundings reveals landscapes of rare beauty and timeless charm.
