Veneto piedmont area

Itinerario di tipo: Areal journey

Summary

Between the flat and the Veneto Alpine foothills there is a line of medium height hills, which is basically an unitary group from east to west, rich in water and which enjoys a strategical position. These are the reasons why the area had been chosen as a convenient place for settlement even in the past (Neolotic period, Medium and Recent Bronze age) and it continued to be populated and exploited during the Iron age (the urban center of Asolo, Feltre and the important village of Montebelluna were some examples) and during the Roman age, when Acelum and Feltria towns developed. This trip leads you to discover the main archeological sites of the piedmont area starting from Bassano del Grappa area (where its Museum holds an extraordinary collection of Magno-Greek ceramics), Asolo and Montebelluna (whose history – from the Paleolithic period to the Roman age – is understandable through specific ruins exposed at Civic Museums), up to Feltre, where you can both visit the Museum and have a look of the remains of a part of the Roman town nearby Piazza Duomo.
