Oasis of Ca' Mello
If you long to discover breathtaking scenery, take the route that leads to the Oasis of Ca' Mello, a freshwater wetland of around 40 hectares, located in the southern part of the Delta of the Venetian Po. This important natural area for the conservation of biodiversity stretches out to where the basin of the mouth of an old stream of the Po, now inexistent, was once situated and has existed for just over 300 years.
The Botanical Garden of Monte Baldo
It is referred to as the "Botanicaln Garden of Europe" and for good reason: the slopes of Monte Baldo rise from the warm shores of Lake Garda and have exceptionally rich and varied flora ranging from the typical Mediterranean vegetation of vieyards, olive groves and oleanders to edelweiss at higher altitudes. From spring to autumn there are vast expanses of violets, primroses, daffodils, anemones, and orchids, as far as the eye can see.
Gardens of Villa Giustiniani
The gardens of Villa Giustiniani stretch over more than five acres in the Paduan countryside. The seventeenth-century Venetian villa is located in Vanzo, a suburb of San Pietro Viminario, surrounded by century-old plants and rare trees.
The historical garden houses a large rose garden that can be toured with the owners, expert and enthusiastic "gardeners" whose family has lived in the villa for generations, and who will spell out the botanical names of the different rose varieties in addition to the history of the people who introduced them.
Museum of the Battle of Vittorio Veneto
Visiting the Museo della Battaglia di Vittorio Veneto means retracing, in a direct and engaging way, one of the most significant moments in Italian history: the 1918 battle that brought an end to the First World War on the Italian front.
Heritage Tourism: Veneto and the Great War
Veneto is one of the symbolic lands of the First World War: after the defeat at Caporetto in the autumn of 1917, the front line stabilised along the Piave, the Montello, the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni and the Grappa massif, becoming the scene of decisive clashes up to the final Battle of Vittorio Veneto in 1918.
Trenches, fortifications, memorial shrines, war cemeteries and museums tell a story that is not just recounted in history books but a tangible part of these places, acting as your guide as you make your way through landscapes deeply marked by the memory of the conflict.
To promote this extraordinary heritage, numerous museums dedicated to the Great War have come together in local networks to connect large and smaller institutions. The result is a series of integrated proposals that combine museum visits, the exploration of sites along the front line and history trails to offer a consistent, complete and engaging interpretation of events.
These networks turn Veneto into an open-air museum in which every valley, every town and every monument helps to reconstruct the mosaic of history. A joint commitment that transforms the memory of the War into an opportunity for knowledge-sharing, reflection and understanding.
