ITALY_Castelfranco Veneto - carousel (merry-go-round) by vanessa
It happen to be both: 1st of May and Sunday, when we have been there. We arrived around the noon time and street (should I call it the-main-square?) was full with local ppl. They all were in holday dress, many kept glasses of wine (celebrated May 1st, I guess), others eat snacks. Carousel was rotating and parents waited for galloping kids. At 1 PM everyting stopped and town got empty in few single minutes . Domo locked its doors, cafe closed, carousel was switched off and people dissapeared. It's nothing as saint in Italy as siesta time! At 3PM town awoke once again.

ITALY_Castelfranco Veneto - Bolasco Garden by vanessa
Beautiful Garden of Bolasco Vila, so-called Englis Gaden (assimetric one). It's a bit aside - short walk from town walls, but worth an effort. Vila was closed, unfortunatelly, but Garden is so welcoming and pleasing tha worth an effort to go there.

ITALY_Castelfranco Veneto - Revedin Bolasco Garden by vanessa
Bolasco Garden is adorable! That's pity that vila was closed - i guess it should be at least as well as a garden. I found this video on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I7VOAskN3Y, it shows ball-room.

ITALY_Castelfranco Veneto - Revedin Bolasco Garden by vanessa
This place is sharming, I think the owners planned live there in generations - all planned an built so smart, so carefully. I did some research but didn't find anything about owners - Bolasco family. If you know something - I'll be glad to hear the story of them. THe complex (vila & gardens) built in 19th cent - not so far ago.

Italy_Treviso by vanessa
The town centre is a rambling maze of streets lined with arcaded walkways. Looking up, you'll see fragments of the painted frescoes which once decorated Treviso's houses. The town is circled by a town wall and by waterways. Treviso markets itself as a città d'acque - water is an important feature of the townscape. The river Sile runs to the south of the centre, and canals carry water around the town, lined with houses or grassy banks, weeping willows, waterwheels and little parks. The town's defensive walls, moat and imposing gateways are lovely.

ITALY_Treviso canals by vanessa
The town is circled by waterways and Treviso calles itself a "città d'acque". The river Sile runs to the south of the centre, and canals carry water around the town. Treviso doesn't pretend being alike Venice, it's very different in appearance and in character too.

ITALY_Vicenza_Piazza dei Signori by vanessa
Piazza dei Signori - at afternoon it's sleepy place (siesta?) with very few visitors. Originally being a Roman Forum, Piazza still used for festivals. There are few points of interest: two columns dating from the Venetian period, the slender Torre di Piazza -82m/271ft, built in 1174 and Basilica Palladiana.
