It is about 35 kilometres north<br \/>\n east of Vicenza. The town&#039;s symbols are said to be the<br \/>\n Palladian bridge, white asparagus, ceramics and the Grappa<br \/>\n liqueur. I visited the town for the day in February 2005. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/globetrotters.co.uk\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/pictures\/2005\/2005-11-enews-image012.jpg\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Bassano bridge\" align=\"left\" height=\"247\" hspace=\"12\" width=\"300\" \/> I really liked the location, the fresh air, the<br \/>\n fast flowing river and the picturesque bridge. If you like to be<br \/>\n slightly off the tourist track and would prefer a more rural<br \/>\n setting for short break or as a base for a touring holiday,<br \/>\n Bassano is ideal.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n <b>How to get there<\/b>\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The nearest airports are Treviso, used by Ryanair as its airport<br \/>\n for Venice and Venice Marco Polo. You could hire a car from the<br \/>\n airport. It is possible to reach Bassano by train on the Vicenzia<br \/>\n &#8211; Trento or Padova &#8211; Bassano lines.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n <b>History<\/b>\n <\/p>\n<p>\n It is often assumed that the city takes its name from the well<br \/>\n known liqueur Grappa. This is not the case; it is named after<br \/>\n Monte Grappa. The mountain&#039;s name is said to originate from<br \/>\n crapp or greep, meaning crag in an ancient pre-Latin language.<br \/>\n The liqueur Grappa&#039;s name stems from grappolo, meaning a<br \/>\n cluster of grapes.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Grappa liqueur has been produced in Bassano since 1779 when<br \/>\n Bortolo Nardini bought a Grapperia on the Brenta River bank.<br \/>\n Grappa is made from the by-products of wine making, the seeds,<br \/>\n stems and skins. The company is still run by members of the<br \/>\n Nardini family, accounting for around one quarter of annual<br \/>\n grappa production.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Ponte Vecchia has become synonymous with Bassano. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" \" src=\"https:\/\/globetrotters.co.uk\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/pictures\/2005\/2005-11-enews-image013.jpg\" class=\"pic\" align=\"right\" height=\"225\" hspace=\"12\" width=\"300\" \/>The bridge<br \/>\n is first mentioned in the 11th century. The bridge has been<br \/>\n rebuilt several times due to flooding or destruction during wars.<br \/>\n It is still the original design by Palladio from 1569. The bridge<br \/>\n is built of wood, making it more resilient to the fast flowing<br \/>\n River Brenta.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n There is a record of the city on St Mary&#039;s Hill from the 10th<br \/>\n century. From the 14th to 18th century the city was under<br \/>\n Venetian rule. It became well known for the manufacture of<br \/>\n ceramics, wool, silk, iron and copper. The Remondini family ran<br \/>\n one of the most up to date printing houses in Europe from the17th<br \/>\n to the 19th century.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The Town Hall was first constructed in1405. Bartolomeo Ferranci<br \/>\n installed the present clock mechanism in 1743. The interior walls<br \/>\n are adorned by frescoes of 120 coats of arms.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n White asparagus was first produced in the 16th century after<br \/>\n Bassano experienced a hailstorm which destroyed the asparagus<br \/>\n crop. The farmers dug up the part of the plant below the earth<br \/>\n and discovered that it was so tender and delicious that they<br \/>\n started to grow it underground permanently.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Parolini, a local nobleman, designed the Giardini Parolini in the<br \/>\n early 19th century. In 1829 Parolini catalogued 3000 plant<br \/>\n species in the garden.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n During the First World War the Italians took a last stand against<br \/>\n the Austrians in Monte Grappa where they entrenched themselves in<br \/>\n tunnels and bunkers to repel the Austrian attackers. Over 12,000<br \/>\n Italian and 10,000 Austrian soldiers lost their lives in the<br \/>\n numerous battles.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n During the Second World War Italian partisans hid in Monte<br \/>\n Grappa, organising raids on the main supply route from Germany to<br \/>\n the German troops stationed in Italy. In 1944 the Germans took<br \/>\n revenge by marching up the mountain behind women, children and<br \/>\n elderly local inhabitants. Any partisans discovered or civilians<br \/>\n suspected of assisting partisans were killed. There were public<br \/>\n hangings and shootings with families forced to watch.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n In 1946 the Italian prime minister awarded Basssano the gold<br \/>\n medal for military valour. Every year the city commemorates these<br \/>\n events during September.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The Museo degli Alpini was established in 1948 in memory of the<br \/>\n Italian Alpine Troops It is located on the eastern side of the<br \/>\n Ponte Vecchio. You have to enter it through a cafe. I found this<br \/>\n rather confusing but the museum is down stairs to the left when<br \/>\n you enter the cafe. Originally the collection was very small but<br \/>\n has grown as more war relics have been gathered together. There<br \/>\n are many original photos, uniforms and armoury.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Museo della Cermica is near the eastern side of the Ponte<br \/>\n Vecchio. The building was constructed as the residence of Ferrari<br \/>\n family, owners of a local silk factory. The entrance hall is<br \/>\n adorned with a fresco by Giorgio Anseli. There are pieces of<br \/>\n engraved ceramics from medieval times, Mainardi majolica pieces<br \/>\n from the 17th and 18th century, along with modern pieces.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The Civic Musuem is one of the oldest in the Veneto region. It<br \/>\n was built in1828 on the site of the convent of St Francis. It<br \/>\n houses a collection of paintings by the Da Ponti family,<br \/>\n Guariento and Magnasco, a collection of prints by the Remondini<br \/>\n family. There is also an archaeological section and pieces by<br \/>\n Antonio Canova.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Bassano boasts several churches. San Donato was built in 1208. It<br \/>\n is claimed that St Francis of Assisi and St Anthony of Padua both<br \/>\n stayed here during the third decade of the 13th century. The<br \/>\n church was a hospital, run by Benedictine nuns in the 14th<br \/>\n century, then a Fransican monastery during the 15th century. The<br \/>\n church was restored in 1900, including work being done on the<br \/>\n cell which was used by the two saints.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The Church of San Francesco was started in the mid 12th century,<br \/>\n after the return of Ezzelino 11, the Stutterer, from the Holy<br \/>\n Land. The Church of St John the Baptist was originally built in<br \/>\n 1308 but reconstructed in the 18th century by local architect<br \/>\n Giovanni Miazzi. Giambattista Piazzetti made the altarpiece of<br \/>\n John the Baptist and Orzio Marinali created the statues of angels<br \/>\n and the bas-reliefs.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n The Cathedral of Holy Mary was a 10th century parish church in<br \/>\n the original high part of the town. The present cathedral dates<br \/>\n from the 17th century. The high altar piece and the painting of<br \/>\n St Stephen are the work of Leandro di Ponte, and the sculptures<br \/>\n are by Mainali. Di Giacomo Dacci made the organ and the three<br \/>\n ceiling paintings are by Volpata.\n <\/p>\n<h4>\n Day trips<br \/>\n <\/h4>\n<p class=\"c4\">\n Marostica\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Marostica is a 14th century medieval town where the original town<br \/>\n wall stands intact. It is best known as the &#8220;town of<br \/>\n chess&#8221;. Every second year a match, with people dressed in<br \/>\n elaborate costumes to portray the pieces, is played on the giant<br \/>\n chessboard below the castle. This takes place on the second<br \/>\n Friday, Saturday and Sunday every second year, when the year ends<br \/>\n in an even number. This commemorates the chess match played in<br \/>\n 1454 when the victor was to win the hand in marriage of Lianora,<br \/>\n the daughter of the Lord of the Castle of Marostica. Two suitors,<br \/>\n Rinaldo d&#039;Angarano and Vieti da Vallonara, had fallen in love<br \/>\n with Lianora and were to fight a duel to see how would marry<br \/>\n Lianora. The Lord forbade the duel and order decreed that the<br \/>\n victor of the chess match would marry Lianora. However all was<br \/>\n not lost for the defeated suitor, as he would marry Lianora&#039;s<br \/>\n younger sister, Oldrata. The period costumes are permanently<br \/>\n displayed in the Lower Castle. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" \" src=\"https:\/\/globetrotters.co.uk\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/pictures\/2005\/2005-11-enews-image014.jpg\" class=\"pic\" align=\"left\" height=\"312\" hspace=\"12\" width=\"301\" \/>\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Marostica holds a Cherry Festival every year during May and June.<br \/>\n There are kiosks in the streets selling a variety of cherries<br \/>\n including morello, roame, marostagne and sander. There is an<br \/>\n annual exhibition of comic cartoons in the town. Every July and<br \/>\n August local craftsmen display their work the exhibition hall of<br \/>\n the Lower Caste. There are some lovely walks through the<br \/>\n surrounding hills.\n <\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\">\n Asola\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Asola is a charming hilltop town, with a castle, a cathedral with<br \/>\n a altar piece by Lorenzo Lotto and the 15th century Palazzo della<br \/>\n Ragione. It was called the &#8220;city of one thousand<br \/>\n horizons&#8221; by Giosue Carducci, because of all the fantastic<br \/>\n views. It was much favoured by the Venetian nobility. Caterina<br \/>\n Corona, the former Queen of Cyprus, lived here in the late 15th<br \/>\n century. Robert Browning, the English poet, bought a house ere in<br \/>\n the mid 17th century. Eleanora Duse, credited with being the<br \/>\n greatest actress of the Italian stage was also a resident. The<br \/>\n travel writer Freya Stark was brought up in Asolo and spent a lot<br \/>\n of time here between her various expeditions. There is an<br \/>\n antiques market every second weekend of the month, except during<br \/>\n July and August.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Karen Bryan is an independent travel consultant and writer,<br \/>\n specialising in less well known destinations in Europe.
