Where is Bassano del Grappa? It is a city in the province of Vicenza, region Veneto, in northern Italy.
Bassano has been famous for its asparagus at least since the mid 1500's: a receipt from 1534 lists asparagus among the delicacies purchased for a banquet. Asparagus tasting is almost a religion in Bassano, everyone has something to say about the correct way to serve it. 

  
You have to go there and taste asparagus "the Bassano way"!
