Alzaia del Sile Cycle and Pedestrian Path

Highlight • Cycleway

It arises from various springs distributed between Casacorba di Vedelago (TV) and Torreselle di Piombino Dese (PD); the Coa Longa fountain, considered the main source, is located in the latter's territory.
It flows with a certain sinuosity from west to east and, once it reaches the capital of the Marche, it bends in a south-east direction towards the lagoon.
It once flowed into Portegrandi di Quarto d'Altino, but in 1663 the Serenissima diverted its course via the Taglio del Sile canal, which transferred its waters to the old bed of the Piave, which in turn was diverted further east (so the last stretch is also called Piave Vecchia). It finally flows into the Adriatic, dividing the Lido di Jesolo from the Cavallino coast (port of Piave Vecchia).
In Portegrandi, however, the old course is still followed by a branch, called Silone, which gives access to the lagoon (nautical traffic is regulated by locks). The Silone proceeds through the marshes and is extended by the Borgognoni canal-Burano canal, which leads to the Treporti canal and, finally, to the lido port.
The entire course is protected by the Sile River Regional Natural Park. As regards the reclamation consortia, its hydrographic basin is divided between the Piave and the Acque Risorgive.

Castello Romano

Highlight • Castle

If looking at the castle while passing through Treviso you think of knights, ladies, elves, fairies and medieval duels... you will have to think again, none of this.
In fact, it was built between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century by the Romanos (from whom it also takes its name), a family of building contractors from the brand.
In reality, Fortunato Romano wanted to buy Villa Margherita at auction but the deal narrowly failed.
Disconsolate, he then decided to buy that land just outside the city center, on which a smuggler's house stood.
But what was a smuggler doing up there?
At that time the city of Treviso was different and to bring products into the city the toll was paid at the Sile gate, just ahead of where the castle now stands.
The smuggler, as smart as a fox, went up the Sile with the goods to his little house and from there brought the goods into the city without paying the duty.
But let's go back to the Romanos
Once Fortunato Romano had the land, he designed and planned the castle with his imagination and according to his tastes, his son Antonio was the real builder.
The castle still belongs to the Romano family and is an exclusive balcony overlooking the city, few can say they have entered it, as it is not open to the public.
The furnishings and floors are from the early 20th century and inside you can admire the frescoes by Molossi and the statues by Feltrin. Furthermore, there are numerous valuable objects and decorations present.
CURIOSITY'
Before purchasing the smuggler's land, Fortunato Romano had been offered land in Jesolo, but he had replied piquedly "I don't buy mosquitoes".

Ponte Dante

Highlight • Bridge

Dante in Paradise mentions this bridge as "Where Sile and Cagnan accompanies each other". Built at the meeting point between the waters of the Sile and those of the Cagnan, it was called the "bridge of the Impossible" until 1865 due to the numerous difficulties encountered in its construction. Subsequently he took the name of the great poet. These were also the banks of the "squeri", that is, the areas dedicated to the construction of boats used for trade with Venice.

Isola della Pescheria, Treviso

Isola della Pescheria is a small river island in the historic center of Treviso, lapped by the Cagnan Grando (one of the branches of the Botteniga). As the name suggests, it houses the city's fish market.
