Where is Trevignano located?

Nature trails
Set in the urban center of the municipality, one of the most representative monuments of Trevignano is the spectacular Villa Onigo, a splendid neo-Palladian palace built in the second half of the 17th century.
One of the most fascinating historical and nature trails of the Agritour dei Cavedìn, an initiative aimed at promoting the rural and cultural heritage of the area, is the countryside itinerary “Ai Prai”, a path that winds for about 8 km between rows of vineyards, tree-lined avenues and picturesque country houses.
Wrapped in an aura of charm and mystery centuries after their creation, the 16th-century pillars of Villa Onigo, harmoniously integrated into the bucolic landscape of the municipality on the border with Istrana, marked the meeting point of the two main roads of the homonymous Villa.
This pleasant itinerary immersed in greenery, easy and not strenuous, is ideal for hiking and cycle tourism enthusiasts who are wondering what to do in Trevignano.
Events and festivities
In the hamlet of Signoressa, between the first and second week of August, in the field between Via Bassa and
Via Monte Grappa, you can participate in the Agost Bier Fest, the town’s beer festival, known throughout
the province, where you can take a ride on one of the many rides or let loose with a pint of good beer and a grilled meat or vegetables while enjoying live music for all ages, from ballroom to the wildest rock.
An event born more than thirty years ago, Trevignano’s Palio del Batar Panoce (beating the corn cobs) revives the ancient work with which farmers, separating the corn kernels from the cob (a granèa dai bòtoli, in dialect), prepared the corn for polenta.
A festival full of rural connotations, steeped in the history of local families and
their traditions.
The event generally takes place at the end of June and consists of three competitions: the Palio,
where the ancient hamlets of Trevignano compete (Borgo, Piazza, Campagna, Tre Forni, Zapparè and Via
Alta), the Palio Comunale, where the four hamlets challenge each other, and the SuperPalio, where the
outgoing champions of the two previous categories compete.
The Sagra del Carmine, on the other hand, takes place in Falzè, and is held around mid-July, with rides,
food stalls and live shows.
Historical notes
After the passage of the barbarian horde, the settlements of Trevignano de sub and Falzedo arose; these lands were destined for agricultural reclamation, followed by the founding of small urban centers belonging to the Pieve of Montebelluna, while
Musano, hosting a Monastery, and Signoressa were part of the lordship of the Podestà of Treviso.
The territory maintained its rural-peasant connotation to the present day, despite being on the route of
important communication networks such as the Postumia or the later Feltrina and Schiavonesca.
During the First World War, Villa Coletti in Musano became the headquarters of the general command of the Royal
Army, with the function of reorganizing ranks and counteroffensive after the rout of Caporetto,
given its position not far from the front (the Piave river).
During the Second World War, instead, the story of the Ten Martyrs of Zapparè is sadly famous,
victims of an execution for Nazi reprisal and shot in April 1945 because they had offered
support and hospitality to partisans.
