Surrounded by a mighty defensive wall and with a dramatic Duomo at its heart where frescoes by Giorgione and an altar painting by Veronese are preserved, Montagnana is an excellent choice for a day trip dedicated to art, history, and incredibly good food. With a history that spans thousands of years and a particularly interesting medieval period, Montagnana experienced many transformations throughout the centuries. In Roman times, the town was a military fortified castrum and served as an official postal station. Then, during the Middle Ages, Montagnana became the battleground of the area’s powerful feudal dynasties. To this day a large defensive wall circumnavigating the whole town bears witness to the battles that were waged in defense of and against Montagnana. In 1405, the town was annexed to the Republic of Venice and flourished economically, culturally, and artistically. A testament to it are the many Late Gothic and Renaissance palaces dotted around Montagnana’s historic centre and the priceless works of art in the town’s Duomo and Civic Museum. In addition to its artistic and historic significance, Montagnana is also the leading centre of production of one of the best dry-cured hams in all of Italy. Known as Prosciutto Veneto Berico-Euganeo DOP and enjoying a Protected Designation of Origin status, the prosciutto of Montagnana is a source of local pride that can be best felt and enjoyed during the prosciutto festival held here in spring each year. Add to this the many events regularly organised here and the sheer exuberance of beauty that Montagnana is known for and this little town in the Venetian plains easily becomes a must-see place
