Verona's historic horse-meat stew, marinated 24 hours in Valpolicella wine with onions, carrots, cloves and cinnamon.
Veronese legend dates the dish to 489 AD, after the Battle of Verona between Theodoric the Ostrogoth and Odoacer's Romans, when victorious soldiers preserved fallen horses in red wine and spices on the plain outside the walls to prevent spoilage. The wine-marinated braising tradition is the Ostrogothic culinary legacy that survives in modern Veronese kitchens, with horse-meat consumption still legal in Italy. Osteria al Duca, set in the medieval Casa dei Montecchi, is the reference room.
