Festa dei Bisi

In the heart of the Veneto region, at Peseggia di Scorzè, the harvest season transforms into an authentic celebration of local agricultural tradition: the Festa dei Bisi. For over fifty years, this community has brought together families and rural gastronomy enthusiasts to honor the "biso" of Peseggia—a humble yet extraordinary legume that has earned recognition as a Certified Municipal Product (De.Co.). This distinction is no accident: the peas cultivated here follow ancient agricultural practices passed down through generations, preserving the authentic quality and flavor that define them.

The true heart of the festival lies in the gastronomic stand, where bisi become the undisputed stars of culinary creations that celebrate the simplicity and genuineness of this local product. The dish that perfectly embodies this tradition is risi e bisi, the celebrated Venetian risotto with peas, prepared according to time-honored recipes with meticulous care. Every spoonful tells a story of deep roots and an inseparable bond between the land and the tables of Peseggia.

Attending this festival means immersing yourself in an authentic experience where food is more than nourishment—it is an expression of cultural identity and a living testimony of a community that truly appreciates its treasures. It's the perfect opportunity to discover how a simple pea can become a source of collective pride and conviviality.
