Treviso.

Friday 4th October 2024.

Day 20&21.

Yesterday was supposed to be our third day of visiting Venice but unfortunately before the day began we were hit by a storm with winds gusting up to 45mph and rain that never stopped all day. It wasn’t pleasant at all, we had to don full waterproofs just to take Layla for a walk.

Thankfully overnight last night the wind stopped but all day today it has been cool and showery. Upon leaving Venice we drove a short way north to Treviso where we are staying on a Sosta that is free.

Treviso is a city and commune in the Veneto region of northern Italy, a small portion of its inhabitants live inside the Venetian walls, whilst the rest occupy the area around the city.

There are many old buildings within the walled city, it’s not always easy to give a name to them.

At this one Michelle was able to do her “ Romeo where am ya,” as we say locally in England, I do know it’s not the correct city.😊

There were numerous architectural interesting buildings dotted about the city.

When we entered the city the long lunch break was in process so there weren’t many shops open but as we walked around the place came more to life and gave it more spirit.

A wonderful chimney, an old cannon, Layla wasn’t impressed. A modern church and a war memorial.

We bought some oranges from this lovely fruit shop.

The province is home to the headquarters of Benetton amongst other names and the alliance maker De’Longhi. Treviso is also known for being the original production area of Prosecco wine and is thought to have been the origin of the popular Italian dessert “ tiramisu “ which was advertised in many cafe/ restaurants.
