The pageantry, pomp and peace amazes you. Imagine viewing the famous game of living chess in the medieval citadel, Marostica, then sampling the "firewater of the mountains" in Bassano del Grappa. Think of lunching on white asparagus, and porcini mushrooms from authentic ceramic dishes in a hidden Asolo restaurant known only to the locals. Dream of the lives once lived in the series of Palladian Villas that dot your trail. Then put in all in perspective with a glass of Prosecco in your hands as you relax in a vineyard on the hills of Veneto . You travel along the pristine shores of Brenta River , behold spectacular alpine vistas and stroll through pastoral vineyard settings.
Fresh air, frescoes, food and fun highlight this day along with the magnificent bridges, villas and buildings designed by the legendary Palladio.
