Radicchio di Chioggia is a green and red mottled radicchio with a round head. Recently developed mainly for exportation.
Treviso or raddichio di Treviso is a wildly flailing and beautifully coloured radicchio. As with all the chicories, the leaves are slightly bitter. If serving in a salad, they are improved by the addition of a slightly sweet dressing.
Radicchio di Verona is a variety of radicchio with rounded, solid heads of purplish red with wide white blades. Good in salads with a sweetish dressing, but not to be overlooked as an ingredient for risotto or as an accompaniment to meats either braised, baked or grilled.
