In 1917, the Bishop of Treviso promised the Madonna that, in case of victory, a church dedicated to her would be built on the top of Montello. Once the war ended, in the fall of 1923, the Collesel della Val dell'Acqua, the highest peak, was chosen for the construction of the church.

1917 was a terrible year for Italy, but above all for the Treviso region. The Italian soldiers at Caporetto were defeated by the Austro-Hungarian empire and proved incapable of slowing down their advance. In those days the bishop of Treviso Msgr. Andrea Giacinto Longhin (proclaimed blessed by John Paul II on 20 October 2002), seeing the grave danger looming over the entire Venetian plain, promised that if the Madonna had spared his diocese and Italy, arresting the enemies in the afterlife Piave, he would have erected a church dedicated to the Virgin on the top of Montello.

An ideal segment for cycling close to Montello and away from traffic. In the northernmost sections, the view also extends towards the Treviso foothills, the Belluno peaks on clear days and above all towards the Valdobbiadene hills and the Asolo hills.

Place to fill up on water.

Another dirt road stretch, where Montello ideally embraces the Asolo hills.

Symbolic stage of Montello and highest point. There is a fountain to fill your water bottle and bathrooms available.

Montello is absolutely worth visiting for its historical importance and the beauty of the landscape.
