This small village lies on the right bank of the Canalbianco and owes its name to an officer of the Este court, Guglielmo Pincaro, who received his investiture on this land and started the first remediation works in the 15th century.
The layout of the village runs parallel to the course of the Canalbianco and has its heart in the church of St. John the Baptist (16th century).
Close to the historical centre is a pretty example of the eddies that are typical of Polesine. These are small but deep, rounded waterpools that remind us of the ancient course of the river Po.
Following the Canalbianco, a few kilometres further on, tourists can spot Ca’ Bernarda, an imposing farmyard. Although a private property, it allows us to observe the typical characteristics of 1700s Venetian manor courts. These huge complexes could live independently of neighboring towns, being complete with chapel, manor house, stable, dovecote and a huge courtyard overlooked by the rustic porches.
Pincara is also the home of the only Enterprise Museum of Polesine: here we can retrace the steps that led to the birth of the oldest distilleries and get to know the techniques and raw materials necessary to produce liqueurs and spirits.
