What Is End of Summer Melancholy?
It often happens that with the end of August, one begins to feel a slight affliction in realizing that the carefree summer holidays will soon give way to the monotony of work rhythms, shorter daylight hours, and dropping temperatures.
The end of September, however, is not synonymous with boredom and grayness—quite the opposite: the autumn season is distinguished by the warm hues of majestic woodlands with golden canopies, the aroma of chestnuts, walnuts, and pomegranates, the refined varieties of mushrooms used to create delicious dishes, not to mention the fascinating and mysterious folk traditions that celebrate the link between nature’s rhythms and the work in the fields.
One of the most effective strategies to overcome end of summer melancholy and defeat the boredom, apathy, and listlessness that sour our spirits as the days shorten is to stay informed about the many festive occasions that enliven every corner of our region.
Planning a calendar full of events and being ready to reach ever-new destinations are the keys to experiencing unique adventures all year round: breathing in the fresh air of ancient forests with full lungs, wandering through the streets of a medieval village, savoring the rare and exquisite products that make our land unique.
The following article suggests five events that will take place in the province of Treviso from September 2021, ideal opportunities for antique enthusiasts, sports lovers seeking cycling routes immersed in nature, fans of local wine and food specialties, and much more.
For those still struggling to leave behind the beach umbrella and swimsuit, remember that summer is not the only beautiful season!

Star Flyer
Like the aforementioned attractions, the Star Flyer is certainly not suitable for those who suffer from vertigo.

Do you have the courage to take a ride?
