HALLOWE'EN AT TREVISO PUMPKIN VILLAGE

Pumpkin bonanza at Nonno Andrea Villaggio delle Zucchi (Grandpa Andrew's Pumpkin Village) at Villorba, near Treviso (Veneto) where visitors have been flocking every weekend since the beginning of October. Over 200,000 pumpkins of different varieties, spread over an area of 70,000 sqm, are on show at the Villorba Farm, which specializes in biodiversity cultivation according to the directives established by the 1992 UN Convention on Biodiversity.

The pumpkins are surrounded by ingenious vegetable sculptures, autumnal theme exhibits, Hallowe'en lanterns and so on. Food and drink are available as well as this years' novelty – a mais maze (no pun intended).

Nonno Andrea's Pumpkin Village has registered sold out every weekend and will reach its peak this Hallowe'en weekend.

The Village is the brainchild of Luca Manzan, former President of the Consortium of Treviso and Castelfranca Radicchio – a highly prized gourmet speciality of the chicory family, native to the area.
