Gnocchi commemorate a 1531 famine when the Veronese physician and nobleman Tommaso Da Vico distributed free bowls of gnocchi to starving citizens of the San Zeno district. He left a bequest to repeat the gesture every Carnival Friday in perpetuity; the Bacanal del Gnoco still runs each February with the Papa del Gnoco handing out gnocchi in Piazza San Zeno.
