VENETO
Veneto
is a region located in the north-east of Italy, its territory is well
divided: almost 60% is hilly, about 15% mountains and the rest is plain.
Veneto has a 200km. long coast which confines with the Adriatic Sea. There
are very high mountains in this region, for instance the Marmolada, situated
in the Dolomites, which reaches 3.342 m. in height. Many important rivers
flow here, such as the Po, Brenta, Adige and Piave, and the Garda Lake
is also partially in the territory of Veneto
The capital city of this region is Venice, famous throughout the world,
full of history and beauties to visit. Other provinces of the region are
Verona, Treviso, Vicenza and Padova.
Tourism
in Veneto
The region of Veneto has great tourist resources because of the beautiful
mountain and coast areas, packed with exquisite tourist resorts well equipped
for summer shoreline tourism and plains worth visiting. Venice, with a
history and beauty which the whole world envies us, is one of the most
requested destinations from tourists from all over the globe. The gorgeous
mountains of Dolomites and in particular Cortina d'Ampezzo represent another
world famous resort where both winter and summer holidays can be enjoyed.
Art and
culture
Wonderful, sunny, wealthy, lively yet quiet and intimate: this is how
the cities of art in the Veneto region are seen in a traveler's eyes,
seducing and winning over lovers of art, history and architecture.
Venice is the most splendid, a
fantastic open-air museum with its endless treasures and priceless beauty,
symbolized by Piazza San Marco, "the most beautiful sitting room
in the world".
Asolo is about 30 kilometers from Venice. It is a small town full
of history and culture standing on the hills near Montebelluna. Treviso,
a medieval town that runs alongside the Sile river, stands at about the
same distance. Padua, the city of Giotto and Saint Anthony, is
on the other side of Venice. It has a very old, famous university.
Verona is a 30-minute train ride from Padua. This town was the
setting for the love story of Romeo and Juliet. The town is also full
of remains of the splendor of the Roman Empire and was the birthplace
of Andrea Palladio. In fact the town is full of palaces and buildings
designed by this famous architect.
Eating
and Drinking
Food
and Wine
Veneto cooking is marked by the variety of recipes made with vegetables
grown in the region fish and meat. All simple ingredients, with rich flavors
closely linked to the seasons. These are the essentials points of this
region's cooking.
Each town has its own traditional dishes. There are the famous sardee
in saor in Venice, Treviso's recipes
based on its own radicchio, roasted capon in Padua, zuppa scaligera in
Verona, baccalà alla vicentina in Vicenza and many more too. Veneto's
wine deserve a whole section of their own, especially the ones made in
the Trevigiano and Veronese areas. The "Strada del Prosecco"
route that links the borough of Conegliano to Valdobbiadene is near Treviso:
this route is 33 km long. It winds through the Treviso hills, with wineries,
wine cellars and typical trattorias along the way. Prosecco in the Treviso
area and full-bodied red wines in the Verona area: the province of Verona
is famous for its Valpolicella and for its precious Amarone, which is
considered to be the Barolo of the north east. Last but not least on this
journey through the Veneto region's food and wine we must remember the
pretty town of Bassano, where the famous Grappa di Bassano is made.
