Discover Cerea: Menago landscape, culture and regional produce

Cerea is of interest to travelers who want to consider landscape, history and local production together. A defining economic connection is the furniture industry; Cerea is also home to the Scuola Internazionale del Mobile d'Arte e in Stile. Here, you encounter different aspects of the town: craft tradition, natural surroundings and cultural heritage.

Wetlands along the Menago

The Oasi Valle Brusà is located on the right bank of the Menago River, southwest of Cerea's built-up area. Parco Le Vallette is a town park in Cerea and part of the preserved wetland landscape of the Valli del Menago. Both locations make the Menago area an important topic for anyone who, alongside cities and buildings, would also like to experience a water-shaped landscape during their trip to Italy.

Church, exhibitions and local history

The Chiesa della Beata Vergine dello Spasimo was built in the early years of the 18th century to incorporate a votive chapel associated with the plague of 1630. The building thus combines a specific historical context with religious heritage in Cerea. Exhibitions, shows and other activities are organized annually at Area EXP. Culture in Cerea is therefore expressed both in a historic church building and in a recurring event venue.

Hiking trail through the valley landscape

“Spirito Olimpico| Sapori e Paesaggi di Cerea” is a thematic hiking trail approximately six kilometers long. Its subject matter includes the development of the valley landscape, peasant culture and agro-industrial development. For planning purposes, this trail can be understood as a thematic way of exploring Cerea's landscape and economic history: the focus is not only on nature itself, but also on its agricultural use and the development of the valley.

Riso Nano Vialone Veronese and the monthly market

Cerea is part of the growing area of Riso Nano Vialone Veronese, which is cultivated in the former river channels of the Menago River. The connection between rice cultivation and the river landscape is therefore one of the town's characteristic themes. Another tangible encounter with regional production is offered by the Mercato della Terra di Cerea: it takes place on the second Sunday of every month in the municipal Prà della Fiera park. Small producers and food artisans offer local, fresh and seasonal foods there.

Destinations in the surrounding area and the wider region

In the vicinity of Cerea are the Galleria D'Arte Risorgimento Di Roncoletta Luisa, a museum, and the Chiesa Parrocchiale Ss.Pietro E Paolo, a church. Parco Casette is a park near Cerea. The wider regional surroundings of Cerea also include Villa Francanzan Piovene and Villa Pisani Ferri La Rocca, both palaces. Parco della Motta and Parco Ippodromo are also located in this wider regional area. The surroundings of Cerea thus encompass a range of cultural and scenic destinations, without requiring them to be assigned to the same immediate locality.
