| Veneto A diverse, rich area, which stretches out to the west from the Adriatic Sea influenced by the culture and heritage of Venice reflected in its architecture, cuisine and lifestyle. Just north of such great cities as Venice, Padua and Verona, at the foot of the Dolomite Mountains lies the area of Esagono, comprising the six towns of Asolo, Bassano, Castelfranco, Cittadella, Marostica and Possagno. As they claim ' Six towns with a common charm and a thousand flavours ' You should not miss the white asparagus of Bassano, a real specialty dating back to the 16th century. Also enjoy all the fresh spring vegetables, the sweet cherries from Asolo and Marostica, and, in the winter, the radicchio of Treviso, much of which finds its way into tasty risottos, perhaps accompanied by a glass of sparkling Prosecco. A symbol of harmony between the work of man and nature and witness to the great wealth of noble Venetian families are the many Veneto villas, one of the most precious treasures of this part of Italy. Examples include the work of Andrea Palladio who in the 16th century introduced the classicism of ancient art into churches, palaces and villas throughout the region. |
