Pescantina celebrates Saint Lawrence on 10 August, in the church dedicated to him.
Exactly 11 kilometers separate the historic center of Verona from Pescantina, a municipality of 16,326 residents that introduces the famous Valpolicella wine region. Covering just under 20 square kilometers, this town acts as a northwestern gateway to the province's most celebrated agricultural district.
The local administration includes a network of smaller settlements, namely Settimo, Balconi, Arcè, Ospedaletto, and Santa Lucia. By sharing borders with Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella and San Pietro in Cariano, the municipality remains firmly anchored to the local geographic identity.
