On Saturday evening Chris and I went to Venzone in our own Friuli region for their annual Festa della Zucca - Pumpkin Festival. I had heard nothing but great things for two years, and am obsessed with all things pumpkin in fall motifs, so we decided to check it out this year.
Venzone is a medieval walled-in town, and the whole place is decked out for the festival. Everyone is dressed up in medieval clothing, and there are pumpkins crammed in everywhere. There is also lots of food to try with pumpkin - we tasted pumpkin soup, pumpkin gnocchi, pumpkin strudel, and even pumpkin grappa.
I don't know if this festival quite lived up to the hype, but it was good as far as festivals go.
