Buzzing All Year Long –Bassano del Grappa

Bassano del Grappa is laid down on the banks of the River Brenta. Bassano del Grappa is one of the historical towns of the Vicenza province in Italy. Just a few kilometres from Vicenza and Padova, this town has managed to combine some medieval evidences and Venetian epoch architecture, all this inside the beautiful walls that signal the development of this town of Roman origin.
The most famous artwork is certainly the very famous Bridge of the Alpine, made by the great architect Andrea Palladio. The bridge was designed by Palladio in wood because its flexibility was able to counteract the impetuousness of the River Brenta. It suffered heavy damages frequently, but it was always restored according to the Palladio guidelines. The last reconstruction was made by the Alpines during the period post the second war.
Historically, Bassano has passed through tough times. It passed from the dominance of Vicenza to the one of Padua and then Venice, the city around the year 1400 lived in a period of peace and prosperity that favoured the flourishing development of trade, arts and culture. Between the 15 and the 16 century the painters of the Da Ponte dynasty were born, then called “Da Bassano”, of which the famous Jacopo was the founder of the school. After having lived its period of maximum splendour, in around 18 century, the city was involved in the fall of Venice and came under Austrian domination in 1815, before being annexed by the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
