Whoever wishes to say a short prayer to Christ the Redeemer in this sanctuary may perhaps use the following text by San Francesco (Francis of Assisi), which he often and gladly spoke, and which he even left to posterity in his spiritual testament: + »We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, [here] and in all your churches throughout the whole world, and we praise you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.« The Franciscan Peter Fobes OFM comments on this in a publication as follows: “He expands the faith in the presence of God in the space where he says the prayer to all the churches in the world. He wishes to adore him who has redeemed the world in all the holy places of the world.”

The parish church of the Most Holy Redeemer, located in Santa Croce del Montello in the municipality of Nervesa della Battaglia, is a significant place of worship for the Diocese of Treviso. The first structure was built between 1899 and 1900, and was opened for worship precisely on the occasion of the Holy Year of the Redeemer. During the First World War, the building found itself at the heart of the fighting along the Piave line and suffered almost total destruction. It was rapidly rebuilt on the old foundations between 1920 and 1922, and then enlarged in the thirties with the addition of the side aisles and the bell tower. The building today presents itself in a neo-Romanesque style, with a stone facade and a three-nave interior embellished with a checkerboard floor in Verona and Botticino marble, while the apse houses the statues of the Redeemer and Saint Joseph.

Villa Miollo is one of the historic Venetian villas located in Silea, in the province of Treviso. Originally built in the eighteenth century, the residence underwent a major renovation in 1846 that redefined its appearance. During these works, the main structure was raised by one floor, a modification that involved the removal of the original pediment. The construction of the two characteristic side barchesse also dates back to the same nineteenth-century period. Two elegant wrought-iron balconies and two frescoed sundials, evoking the taste of the era, stand out on the villa's facade. Nestled in a large tree-lined garden, the complex stands along the very central Via Roma. Today, the villa represents an important testimony to the architectural and noble heritage of the Treviso area, fitting into the evocative panorama of historic residences along the Sile river.

The Mire road winds through the territory of Corbanese, a hamlet of Tarzo, representing one of the most spectacular stretches of the Prosecco hills. This ridge itinerary ideally connects the area of Tarzo with that of Vittorio Veneto, offering a privileged perspective on the famous "feuds" of the area. The route is characterized by a succession of ups and downs that cut through high-altitude vineyards, where the slopes become extreme and cultivation becomes art. Along the Mire, the horizon opens to the south onto the Trevigiano plain and to the north onto the Belluno Prealps, creating a unique visual contrast between the geometric rigor of the rows and the wild nature of the peaks. It is an iconic place for those seeking silence and the raw beauty of the territory, far from the more trafficked valley routes.

The town of Zenzon is historically relevant for the battles along the Piave front after the retreat from Caporetto in 1917. The Zenson bend was the scene of fierce clashes between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies.

The Municipality of Zenson di Piave stands as a symbol of reconstruction and civil identity for a town profoundly marked by the Great War. The building, located in the heart of the town center, reflects a sober and functional architecture, typical of the administrative structures that arose in the immediate post-war period to restore stability and services to the community after the wartime devastation that had almost wiped out the entire village. The facade, with its clean and regular lines, overlooks the main square, serving as the hub of public and social life for the citizens. In addition to housing the municipal offices, the town hall represents the guardian of local historical memory, managing a territory that has made resilience along the banks of the Piave its strength. Its central position makes it the starting point for discovering the indissoluble link between the administration, the river, and the history of the Treviso area.
