Bassano del Grappa represents one of the most precious jewels of Vicenza’s province, a city that has been able to wisely unite respect for traditions with modern entrepreneurial activity. Bassano is symbolized by the illustrious “Ponte degli Alpini” ( Alpine military force bridge) and links evidence from the Middle Ages with architecture from the Venetian period within the marvellous city walls that mark the urban development of the town that is of roman origin. Besides the Bridge, one of the works of the great architect Andrea Palladio and emblem of an Era, the tradition of the prestigious potteries and Doc products, especially the popular Grappa, have projected Bassano to the top of international attention. And in Bassano cultural life is more active and richer in events and shows of all kinds than ever before.
