Marostica
Marostica is a little fourteenth century town in the hills of the Vicenza piedmont area, a gem built in stone that has always held a fascination for visitors, with two castles and a circuit of curtain walls and towers that slope down to embrace the plain. Marostica boasts ancient neighbourhoods, Baroque churches, chapels, monasteries, hermitages, noble buildings, historical dwellings and Art Nouveau villas, all surrounded by lush emerald greenery, with dozens of trails winding their way through cherry and olive trees and spontaneous woodland, or alongside crystal-clear streams that are home to egrets and herons. A glorious, epic past meets an equally legendary present, with the famous Human Chess Game, an event that has no equal worldwide, an intellectual duel that makes Marostica a land of peace and love.

Where Chess Meets Taste
A city to discover, a land to savor. With this podcast series, we invite you to explore Marostica through one of its most authentic languages: taste. Across six episodes, we tell the story of the region’s traditional products - from PGI Marostica cherries to PDO white asparagus from Bassano, from the extra virgin olive oil of the Pedemontana to the wild berries of the hills, and from the coffee tradition linked to Prospero Alpini to PGI Marostica chestnuts - weaving together history, culture, anecdotes, and traditions that make each product a living expression of the community's identity. Because in Marostica, every flavor has a story to tell — and every story deserves to be heard. A project promoted by the City of Marostica, Associazione Pro Marostica, and Confcommercio Marostica, funded through the Veneto Regional Programme (ERDF) 2021-2027 cohesion funds.
