ゼンソンディピアーブの天然記念物・トップ8

A former port site, lovingly transformed into a park, with historical images. A must-see, and not just for historians.

The Grassaga, a canal of the Lower Piave, "is born" near Roncadelle: the spring water seems to come out of this pipe that connects it to the Bidoggia canal, which in this photo is beyond the houses and the road that runs alongside it: via Bidoggia di Roncadelle, in fact, which then becomes via Postumia di Faè.

Visited today: it looks bald, but we'll wait for the warm season to judge it. In the meantime, take a look at the branches that they cut

Unfortunately a branch broke

The old name of the Meolo river is Pero. This is why, in these parts, river and place names blend together

Sources of the Grassaga river near the SP 7 in the Roncadelle hamlet in the municipality of Ormelle in the province of Treviso.

The sources of the Meolo river are about 200 m away. from the bridge, unfortunately it was not possible to approach them because they were fenced off. It originates east of Breda di Piave, in the Campagne area, and flows for about twenty kilometers in the provinces of Treviso and Venice, crossing, among others, San Biagio di Callalta and Monastery of Treviso. At the town of the same name, the river bifurcates: the new main axis, maintaining the name of the Meolo river, heads south and flows shortly afterwards into the Vallio; the historic course, called the Meolo flowway, moves towards the south-east and its waters flow partly into the Colatore Principale reclamation canal and partly, by means of a structure that bypasses the previous watercourse, into the Fossetta canal. This situation is the result of the reclamation that affected the Lower Piave and was completed in the 1930s. Along its course there are country residences built by Venetian families between the 15th and the 19th centuries as well as the former Abbey of Santa Maria di Pero

The park that stands at the ancient river port of Noventa di Piave can be reached from the city center through the embankment tunnel. The origin of the river port of Noventa dates back to the 10th century and is due to the will of Pietro Orseolo II (991-1009) Doge of the Serenissima. Thanks to his diplomatic skills, the doge managed to obtain a series of concessions on the Venetian mainland from the German emperor Otto III (980-1002). Among these in 996, the year in which the emperor went down to Italy to be crowned by the pope, he obtained the power to build a port and a market on the Piave, where Noventa now stands. The choice fell on this area because it was the terminal point of navigation on the Piave and was crossed by a road, the Calnova, which followed the path of an ancient Roman road linking the city of Altino and the territory of Opitergino (Oderzo). .
