What a picturesque medieval village Montagnana is....a walled city with a "grass moat", twenty-four polygonal towers spaced at regular intervals, a spacious Piazza, a Cathedral that is part Gothic, part Renaissance, a Nunnery, many beautiful Villas, and the famous Sweet Ham of Montagnana--Prosciutto.
The combination is irresistable. |

A spectacular fortress, indeed! We have a tiny bridge that has been in the works for 10 yrs. and they did those walls in 2 yrs!! Leave it to you to find a fabulous restaurant. Great review... again. | Trekki Fri Aug 28, 2009 18:32 UTC
What a lovely village in Veneto! Ahh, a youth hostel in a fortress, that sounds perfect! And the restaurant.... just looked at the dishes and I miss Italia so much :-)) | lynnehamman Thu Jul 23, 2009 00:17 UTC
The history & architecture of these amazing forts is very impressive, Dee. Local customs tip-Iwould definitely give some of those local favourites a miss! Nice hotel tip. | junecorlett Sun Jun 28, 2009 11:07 UTC
Montagnana is a wonderful page - I just could not imagine trying horsemeat though. Thanks Dee |
