In quarantine, we try to connect with our loved ones through video calls, group chats...and home delivery. Ada and her team are doing a tremendous job linking us with normality and sanity by way of the strands of their fresh tagliatelle, they put their arms around us with their gentle tortelli and give us a kiss with their personal note. We miss them, other small businesses and our everyday Italian culture, but we will all be out soon and with renewed passion to meet each other over food and wine, as it has been done in this land of plenty over thousands of years. Thank you for this week’s pasta delivery @enotecadellavalpolicella

There is no venerdì gnocolar without gnocchi. Pastissada de caval is a typical sauce it’s served with in Verona. It’s made with a horse meat stew in red wine. #carnevale #verona #venerdignocolar #gnocchi #pastissadadecaval

Carnival means fried foods. They manifest the gluttony of fat days before the fasting of lean days. Here is a plate of frittelle filled with pasty cream, zabaione or lemon custard. The square ones are called bugie and filled with chocolate spread. On Ash Wednesday when the Lent starts it will all end. So this is the time to get more of these in our bellies. #frittelle #fritole #verona #carnevale #venerdignocolar

Piazza San Zeno is ready for the carnival celebrations. Here is the statue of Papà del gnocco. Each year a real person, the “pope of gnocchi”, is selected from local candidates by the votes of the people of Verona to commemorate a moment in medieval history when food was scarse and gnocchi was distributed to the poor. On the day of venerdì gnoccolàr (Friday of gnocchi) he enters the city on a mule in front of the carnival carts and distributes candy to children. The carnival procession goes through the whole city and ends up in Piazza San Zeno, in front of the church of the patron saint of Verona, with a big gnoccho party...And that’s tomorrow. #gnocchi #papadelgnocco #venerdignocolar #verona #sanzeno
