Is Sunday morning, and Treviso is very quiet.
The best moment for a photo-walk, with only a small issue: it rains. It rains a lot.
The appointment for the Treviso a 360° - 2nd edition was at 9:30, for giving to everyone the time for a rest, after the long Saturday series of Meet-ups.
Fortunately Treviso is used to the rain, and you can walk in most part of the city, well protected by the arcades that are present along most of the streets on the city center.
We met in Piazza dei Signori, the historical heart of the city, where many of us had the classic breakfast with Cappuccino and Cornetto.
Then @NatalkaR , that I already consider an honorary Italian Local Guide, suggested me to show one of the iconic, (and funniest) statue of the city: the Fontana delle Tette. With a few steps we was there. The original statue (here on my 360) is located under the beautiful arcades of Palazzo dei 300, the historical earth (from 1268) of the political life of the city.
But of course everyone wanted to see the copy, that is one of the most photographed statue of the city. The statue is not a joke, and can help to understand the deep relation between the city and the production of wine:
From Wikipedia: “The Fontana Delle Tette was built in 1559 on the orders of Alvise Da Ponte, at the time mayor of the Republic of Venice ……… Every year of the autumn ……, red wine flowed from the nipple of one breast, and white wine from nipple of the other breast, and all citizens could drink the wine for free for three days.”
A few more steps, to reach the San Vito church, one of the oldest Churches of the city (here in a beautiful 360° by @manulele81 )
From the Church, with some more step (always protected by arcades) we reached the Fontana dei TreVisi, here in @raffaele_guidolin review. “Statue depicting three human faces and that in the collective imagination is the one from which the name of the city of Treviso derives.
The origins of the name of the city are perhaps different, but it is still a place to see during a visit to the city”
In five minutes walk we reached one of the most photographed places of the city, the Sottoportico Buranelli, then we passed through Piazza Rinaldi to reach the arcades in front of one of the oldest restaurant of the city: Odeon alla Colonna, here in a view from the canal.
Next stop: Muscoli’s, a must visit ancient osteria, where prosecco is flowing like a river
How not to close the meet-up with a last glass of prosecco?
The meet-up ends here, but it is difficult to say goodbye so …… why not to have a lunch?
@JaneBurunina , @uavalentine and Pavel had to go, for a last, quick visit to Venice. Jane dropped a small box in my hands, and …. OMG
The photos of that moment are here
What about the lunch? How do you imagine a lunch with the Local Guides?
I do not want to say anything about the place. The photos, and the reviews can give you a better feeling:
From @Giuseppe75 review “Dishes carefully prepared, fresh products”
From @manulele81 review "All perfect, only problem … they don’t have a large assortment of products. I recommend, …, to make an early menu to choose the one you like more! This lack, however, is also a positive point as it makes the idea of a restaurant with artisan products well (and therefore also not always available).
From @LuigiZ review "…we had a good time. The restaurant is … in an excellent position. It has an upper floor with plenty of space, better to book in groups. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well made and good quality dishes, fast service and prices on average with everything else. Bathroom suitable for people with reduced mobility.
