Venetia, a truly fascinating region,
has kept intact its artistic, cultural and natural treasures. Getting to
know Venetia means to discover its ancient rooted history. Indeed, visitors

It is a land inhabited by simple yet extremely warm and friendly
people who are glad to disclose their age-old drinking and eating traditions.
Thanks to its exceptional location, Feltre offers easy access to
many Venetian attractions.
Lovers of art and history, will be fascinated by towns like
Padua,

Veronese), Possagno (with Canova’s house,
