The festival of San Lorenzo

During the traditional event, you can choose from appetizing dishes that highlight the quality of local products and cuisine, first and foremost the exquisite risotto alla minerbese. As in any proper village festival, the menu includes succulent grilled meat dishes served with slices of grilled polenta, coppa steaks, grilled sausages and bacon with polenta, as well as delicious fried fish, just to mention some of the dishes you can order during the festival.

The parish church of San Lorenzo
Set in the urban heart of Minerbe, the church of San Lorenzo stands out for its monumental façade horizontally divided into two registers, both marked by groups of Corinthian pilasters resting on high bases. In the lower register, three rectangular portals open. The largest portal, in the center, is framed by white columns and Corinthian pilasters, above which stands a lunette depicting the Patron Saint.
Above the side entrances, two circular openings stand out, placed in the center of a slightly protruding square frame. The upper register is rhythmically marked by eleven round arches with balustrades, five in the central section, three on each side. Crowning the vertical development of the structure is a large pediment, flanked by volutes, in which a large semicircular arch bearing the dedication stands out. The structure is completed by an unadorned triangular tympanum.
If you’re wondering what to do in Minerbe, the church of San Lorenzo and the spectacular heritage of paintings and sculptures housed inside represent one of the most extraordinary architectural, artistic and spiritual landmarks of Bassa Veronese.
