The Secret Charm of Veneto

Verona is not only music: it's also a temple of fine dining.

And presiding over this culinary temple is none other than Giancarlo Perbellini, the record-breaking chef who, in 2025, earned his third Michelin star for his most ambitious challenge yet. Casa Perbellini, now located in the legendary “12 Apostoli” restaurant – redesigned by renowned designer Patricia Urquiola – has become a must-visit for those seeking taste and refinement.

Drifting gently eastward from Verona, you’ll find Vicenza, where the enchanting Vicenza in Lirica Festival offers opera lovers a chance to extend the season in the magical setting of the Teatro Olimpico, designed by Andrea Palladio, the most important architect of the Venetian Republic.

Vicenza is a treasure chest of wonders: over one hundred historic buildings, refined atmospheres, and captivating perspectives.

Take the evocative Palladian Walk, a journey through art, architecture, and history that reveals the most authentic soul of one of Veneto’s true gems. Or wander into artisan workshops where Vicenza’s renowned gold smith tradition continues to shine, earning its title as the world capital of gold.

 

THE ICONIC EVENTS OF VENETO

And if your journey continues, let it lead you to Venice, where the spotlight is shining on an iconic event: the upcoming edition of the Venice International Film Festival, where the magic of cinema meets the enchantment of the lagoon.

As the red carpet fades, another ancient spectacle takes center stage in September: the Regata Storica – a vibrant procession of gondolas and historic boats gliding along the Grand Canal like a painting in motion.

A deep dive into Venice’s maritime traditions, with colors, period costumes, and applause echoing over the water.
