Events and festivities
In the first week of August you can participate in the Nogarè Festival, (which we will discuss in more detail shortly) where you can taste typical gastronomic specialties and have fun with music or enjoy a pleasant evening with comedy shows.
A Ciano del Montello, nella seconda metà di Luglio, si svolge invece la secolare San Pellegrino Village Festival, an enogastronomic event aimed at satisfying the most traditional palates, with dishes based on horse and beef, but also something different, naturally referring to the paella evening.
On the entertainment side, we find musical performances (from ballroom to rock, to the inevitable dance night with the DJ), a large amusement park, as well as the San Pellegrino foot race, for sports enthusiasts, which is usually held on the first Sunday of the festival.
Nogarè Festival
Where and when does the Nogarè Festival take place?
In 2022 the Nogarè Festival will take place from August 4 to 9 in Piazza 4 November, near the parish church of the homonymous hamlet of the municipality.
Enlivening the streets of the center of Crocetta del Montello will be music and the fires of the kitchens from which the aroma of succulent grilled specialties emanates, from the traditional spit with polenta to the delicious roast chicken with potatoes, as well as mixed dishes based on stewed cuttlefish and lasagna with sauce that will make your mouth water, which you can enjoy in the large gastronomic pavilion organized by the proloco.
For those who ask what to do in Crocetta del Montello and are looking for gastronomic specialties to enjoy in the company of their friends and loved ones in one of the most enchanting historic towns in the province of Treviso,
Nature trails and points of interest
In the Santa Mama area, taking a path that starts from the Church, you can reach the Buoro Fountain, a spring of water inside a cavity dug into the Montello itself. Legend has it that the Buoro was a meeting place for fairies, nymphs and sylvan creatures, and that therefore its water had supernatural properties. Ciano del Montello in fact takes its name from Ciane, a nymph linked to the spring.
Still in Santa Mama, a stone’s throw from the bed of the Piave, we can find the Capitel dei Lovi, a small chapel erected, it is said, by a traveler as a vow after being saved from a pack of wolves, which in medieval times populated the Treviso area and more precisely the woods of Montello.
Historical notes
Remains of Neolithic civilizations confirm human presence in Ciano, near the Buoro, but it was around the year 1000 that the villages that would later form Ciano and Nogarè arose. Crocetta, on the other hand, developed around the mid-19th century, around the Canapificio Veneto, a flourishing company that at the beginning of the century would employ about 2000 workers.
Subsequently, when Ciano and Nogarè merged into a single municipality in 1902, it was decided to place the municipal seat in Crocetta. This territory experienced the Piave offensive on the front line during the Great War; the municipality housed the observatory from which King Vittorio Emanuele III watched the Battle of Vittorio Veneto. Moreover, from Santa Mama the final offensive by the Arditi was launched, and in that place you can find the Cippo degli Arditi, a testimony of the exact place from which the attack began.
