Traces of the region\u2019s history are found throughout this enchanting natural setting, making Veneto a fascinating place to visit.<\/p>\n<p>Traveling off the beaten path in Veneto makes for a great full day excursion whether you\u2019re staying in Venice, Verona or Vicenza. Below is an overview of the highlights of <strong>this intriguing\u00a0private tour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Traveling off the beaten path in Veneto<\/h3>\n<p>The first stop is the medieval town of <strong>Marostica<\/strong>, famous for its imposing fortified castle and a giant chessboard permanently laid out in the town square, Piazza del Castello, where a famous living game of chess is played every two years. For foodies, a taste of the local cherry \u2013 <em>ciliegia di Marostica IGP<\/em> \u2013 is an added bonus.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30074\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30074\" src=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4188.jpg\" alt=\"off the beaten path in Veneto\" width=\"730\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4188.jpg 640w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4188-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marostica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can reach the castle on the hill above town (Castello Superiore) by way of a footpath, which provides for lovely views of Marostica below. Another castle (Castello Inferiore) stands at the town entrance by the walls.<\/p>\n<p>Marostica was ruled by Venice for 400 years, as proved by a statue of St. Mark\u2019s lion, the symbol of Venice, in the main square.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Chess Game<\/strong> (<em>Partita a Scacchi di Marostica<\/em>) takes place in even-numbered years on the second weekend in September. Costumed participants and human chess pieces re-enact a local legend about a ruler who wanted to marry off his beautiful daughter to one of two suitors and, rather than having them fight a duel, he suggested they face off in a chess match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bassano del Grappa<\/strong> is next on your off the beaten path Veneto tour and, as the name suggests, get ready to try grappa, a grape-based drink made from pomace, i.e., discarded grape seeds, stalks and stems left over from winemaking after pressing the grapes that is subsequently distilled. <strong>Grappa<\/strong>, which contains a whopping 35 to 60 percent alcohol by volume, is generally an after-dinner drink but not in Bassano \u2013 it\u2019s not uncommon to see the locals drink a <em>bicchierino<\/em> (or two) in the morning!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30075\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30075\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30075 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4186-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"off the beaten path in Veneto\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4186.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4186-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4186-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4186-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30075\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bassano del Grappa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Among Bassano\u2019s attractions is Ponte degli Alpini, a covered wooden bridge on the Brenta River that was designed in 1569 by the architect Andrea Palladio. It replaced a pre-existing construction that had been here since at least the beginning of the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century. Take some time to walk through the narrow streets and spacious squares, admiring the city\u2019s renowned hand-painted ceramics on display in the shops.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing on this off the beaten path tour in Veneto, you\u2019ll reach <strong>Asolo<\/strong>, known as \u201cThe Pearl of the province of Treviso,\u201d as well as \u201cThe City of a Hundred Horizons\u201d since its hilltop position affords great views of the surrounding Venetian plain, hills and mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Filled with medieval houses and beautiful Renaissance palaces, Asolo was a favorite residence of such writers as Ernest Hemingway and Robert Browning, who came to enjoy the peace and quiet. In the main square, stop to admire the 15<sup>th<\/sup>-century Palazzo della Ragione, which houses a museum of local archaeological finds and paintings by Renaissance artists.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re up for a walk, take the uphill trail to the Rocca, a medieval fortress \u2013 the effort will be rewarded by the tranquility of the path, immersed in olive groves and silence.<\/p>\n<p>Foodies will appreciate the number of <em>osterie\u00a0<\/em>offering <em>cicchetti<\/em>, typical finger food, accompanied by Prosecco, produced in nearby Valdobbiadene.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30076\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30076\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30076 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/VillaScottiPasini-1024x617.jpg\" alt=\"off the beaten path in Veneto\" width=\"730\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/VillaScottiPasini-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/VillaScottiPasini-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/VillaScottiPasini-768x462.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Villa Scotto-Pasini in Asolo (credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:VillaScottiPasini.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Denker<\/a> &#8211; Wikimedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <strong>Palladian villas of the Veneto<\/strong> are villas designed or influenced by the style High Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, and most of them are protected under the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. Traveling off the beaten path in Veneto means discovering such hidden gems as <strong>Villa Barbaro<\/strong>, the most richly decorated of the Palladian villas.<\/p>\n<p>Designed and built in the second half of the 16th century and decorated with frescoes by Paolo Veronese, the large villa is a fascinating place. Roses, wisteria, and begonia grace the entrance courtyard. The six rooms frescoed by Veronese represent the artist\u2019s largest and most important fresco commission; another must-see is the Nymphaeum, a cozy green corner devised by Palladio in the back of the villa, featuring a beautiful fountain with statues and stuccoes.<\/p>\n<p>The villa was built for Marcantonio Barbaro, a politician and diplomat in the Republic of Venice who belonged to the aristocratic Barbaro family. In 1934, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata, the founder of the Venice Film Festival, bought the villa for his daughter Marina; her descendants still live there today.<\/p>\n<p>Another great thing about Villa Barbaro? It\u2019s home to a historic winery, open for wine tasting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30077\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30077\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30077\" src=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/800px-Il_Sile_a_Treviso.jpg\" alt=\"off the beaten path in Veneto\" width=\"730\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/800px-Il_Sile_a_Treviso.jpg 800w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/800px-Il_Sile_a_Treviso-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/800px-Il_Sile_a_Treviso-768x503.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30077\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A bridge on the Sile river in Treviso (credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Il_Sile_a_Treviso.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Didier Descouens<\/a> &#8211; Wikimedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, your off the beaten path in Veneto tour concludes with a visit to <strong>Treviso<\/strong>, which boasts two \u2018tasty\u2019 characteristics: it is the original production area of <strong>Prosecco<\/strong> wine, and is the town where the popular dessert <em>tiramisu<\/em> was invented.<\/p>\n<p>The town\u2019s heart is Piazza dei Signori, with its Palazzo dei Trecento, built in the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century to house the city council, which it still does today.
