About Treviso

When you think of a canaled Italian city, Venice would likely be the first name to come to mind. Just 30 minutes away, you’ll discover another romantic, bustling city rich with canals in northeast Italy. Treviso doesn’t earn the hype of its southerly neighbor, but you should schedule a time to visit this beautiful Veneto city.

Treviso’s history dates to Ancient Rome, and it came under Venetian rule in the Middle Ages. Due to ongoing wars fought by the Republic of Venice, Treviso fell into Austrian hands during the late 14th century. Eventually, medieval walls went up to defend the city, and these fortifications can still be admired today. The waterways flowing through the territory played a strategic role in Treviso’s economy and transport system during this time.

Before joining the Kingdom of Italy in the mid-19th century, Treviso fell to the French and then, the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Sadly, the city suffered heaving bombing during WWII, and many medieval buildings were lost forever. Treviso has recovered in the modern age and is responsible for numerous Italian innovations.

The city of roughly 85,000 residents is the base of some of Italy’s well-known clothing brands and other strategic industries. Foodies and wine enthusiasts will salivate knowing that Treviso sparked the production of Prosecco wine and Tiramisù. And you’ll find some of the most stunning churches anywhere in northern Italy.
