Bassano del Grappa

Saturday July 11, 2009

bassano del grappa pictureOne of the things that surprised us on our trip from Tuscany to Austria was the number of interesting villages in Italy's Veneto region. We liked our stay in laid-back Bassano del Grappa, known for its covered bridge called Ponte degli Alpini, originally designed by Palladio, and its grappa distilleries, not to mention good food and great views of the Brenta river passing through the historic center. Take our virtual tour of the place: Bassano del Grappa Pictures

Great article. It’s the kind of experience we enjoy. Getting into and experiencing another culture in an intimate non-touristy way develops understanding and respect and creates lasting memories.
I’m looking forward to his following articles.
