But for centuries, artists, writers, poets and intellectuals have been visiting the medieval town for its sheer beauty and rich history. Poet Giosue Carducci, the first Italian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, described it as the “town with a hundred horizons.” It has also been called the “Pearl of the Province of Treviso.”

Located on a hilltop amidst a chain of seven mountains separated by valleys, the picturesque town offers commanding views in almost every direction. Among its other laurels, it is included in the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy (I Borghi più belli d’Italia), one of six in the Veneto region.
