Synopsis "Montello: The hill of silence (in English)"
The Montello (Veneto, Italy) is a modest hill with a compact shape in the province of Treviso. For a good stretch of the northern and eastern side it accompanies the river Piave up to Nervesa della Battaglia, then from here the southern side faces the plain surrounded by the villages of Bavarìa, Giavera, Selva, Volpago, Venegazzù and Montebelluna.Massif entirely wooded, the Montello has been divided into twenty-one areas of land from the Serenissima Republic by forest control needs (to supply the Arsenal and foundation piles) called "prese", almost parallel to each other and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the massive, separated by as many narrow roads indicated with a number and dedicated to the heroic places and characters of the Great War.Except on Sundays, these little streets, often still unpaved, are practically deserted and characterize the extraordinary essence of Montello as an island of silence, traveled only by cyclists in training and by a few walkers.In addition to the Certosa di San Girolamo and the abbey of Sant'Eustachio, the Montello is remembered above all for the strenuous defense along the Piave line in the First World War with numerous military monuments, including the Sacrario del Montello, built near the place where it fell the plane of Francesco Baracca.A few years ago it gained considerable fame also for the vineyards from which the Prosecco DOCG wine is made.
