So many vices for the palate. Tradition and innovation among fish, oil and truffles

We reproduce an article in Avis, issue 53 edited by Adele Oriana Orlando that contains a series of not-to-be-missed events for this month-end

 ‘In Malcesine, ‘Ciottolando con gusto’ is back, bringing together local excellence. Art in Bardolino, ‘Oktoberfest’ in Peschiera
rte, adventure and pampering for the palate characterise the weekend on Lake Garda. Starting from the upper
Garda, Ciottolando con Gusto returns to Malcesine on Saturday and Sunday, the event organised by the Apem association. The country's best-loved 28-stage food and wine itinerary is in its 20th edition and is presented under the theme ‘Contemporary - Futuristic Tradition’ with a proposal of typical local products and traditional dishes in a contemporary key. The event calls for the excellence of the territory, such as fish and oil from the lake, herbs, cheeses and truffles from Monte Baldo, as well as Garronese Veneto meat and wines from the Bardolino consortium. There will also be entertainment with music in the ‘Giardino del Gusto’. For the round anniversary, the organisers of this event have thought of a makeover. Palazzo dei Capitani will be transformed into a kitchen with show cooking by chefs Leandro Luppi and Terry Giacomello, a collaboration born thanks to the two Michelin-starred restaurants La vecchia Malcesine and Nin di Brenzone sul Garda. Many proposals for this two-day event that touches all the senses.
Tickets can be purchased on the dedicated website. The Magnalonga of Chiaretto and Bardolino returns to Costermano sul Garda on Sunday. The food and wine event winds its way along a route of about 10 kilometres, to be tackled on foot.
A gluten-free menu is planned for participants suffering from celiac disease, but the request must be made at the time of registration.
Music and a children's area will complete the offer for this event. To participate, it is necessary to book tickets on the dedicated website. The meeting point is at Albarè, Via Alcide De Gasperi half an hour before the booking time.
The music of LittleTaver & his crazy alligators will play in the town hall square of Garda tomorrow at 8 p.m. It will be a rock evening not to be missed for lovers of the genre.
For all tastes
In Bardolino Saturday and Sunday will be two days in which to immerse yourself in the art of the exhibition
‘Cappa Studio Show’ that will be set up in the artist's studio located in the locality of Capitani di Sopra, stradone Belvedere. This first exhibition will be flanked by two events curated by Nicoletta Boschiero: a performance by actor Massimiliano Speziani that opens the show on 20 September at 8 p.m., and the following day at the same time a concert by pianist Andrea Rebaudengo. Lazise proposes a cultural event for reading enthusiasts: the presentation of the book ‘Spazio Calmo’ (Quiet Space) by Evelina Bissoli and published by Land editore of Turin: The appointment to mark in your diary is for Saturday, at 6 p.m., in the study room in via Fontana. Alessandro Leardini will dialogue with the author.
We are approaching autumn and traditional festivities also in the lower Benaco area. In Peschiera del Garda, the ‘Oktoberfest lake Garda’ event will be held from Friday to Sunday. A three-day event with Bavarian food stands and music. This Sunday, starting at 10am, there will also be a social celebration of the blood donor.’
