シレ川の源流

The Botteniga is a resurgence river in the Veneto-Friuli plain. It rises a few kilometers north of the city of Treviso (San Pelaio); shortly after it receives the waters of the La Cerca canal, the Pegorile and the Piavesella di Nervesa and then divides into several branches at the gates of the walls of Treviso, near the Ponte de Pria: • The Cagnan Grande or della Pescheria; • The Cagnan Medio or canale dei Buranelli (0.743 km); • The Cagnan della Roggia or Siletto (1.117 km); • The Convertite or Santa Sofia canal (0.882 km, mostly buried); • the canal that laps the outside of the walls on the eastern side (the western one has been buried). This system is actually part of a notable work of hydraulic engineering designed in the sixteenth century by Giovanni Giocondo for the defense of the walls. All the branches finally flow into the hydrographic left of the Sile river. The waters of the Botteniga also feed the spring from which the Cantarane canal flows (0.447 km, now mostly filled in).

It is a protected wildlife area located in Santa Cristina di Quinto di Treviso, in the province of Treviso. It is one of the gateways to the Regional Natural Park of the Sile River, falling within the SCI IT3240028 "Sile River from its sources to Treviso Ovest" and in the SPA IT3240011 "Sile: sources, marshes of Morgano and S. Cristina".

a particular form of agricultural organization, a particular way of organizing the lawns. This way was realized starting from the eleventh century by the Benedictine monks and consists of a network of ditches that subdivide the land cultivated exclusively with stable grass, that is, lawn that is never plowed for cultivation. But what was special about this form of "cultivation"? It exploited the constant presence of water which, combined with the shading and therefore refreshing effect of the tall trees, placed on the perimeter of each particle, maintained a humid and constant microclimate, such as to guarantee a high number of cuttings, (even seven in one season). Unique wealth for those who lived exclusively on land. Unfortunately today only a few "holds" remain. Even if the water no longer flows in the ditches due to the lowering of the water table, the closed fields are still appreciated for the beauty of their carpet of grass, intense green even in winter.
