Territory of the municipality of Monastier di Treviso
Nestled in a green corner of the Po Valley and crossed by the rivers Meolo and Vallio, the territory of the municipality of Monastier, extending over an area of 25.6 km², is enhanced and preserved thanks to the strong participation of its inhabitants, united by the common goal of protecting biodiversity and public green spaces through initiatives based on environmental sensitivity and respect, such as the waste recycling service and the constant checks carried out by the Environment Office in collaboration with ARPAV (Regional Agency for Environmental Protection) to ensure good air quality.
The Meolo, a river whose source rises in the locality of Campagne, extends for about 30 km crossing, in addition to the territory of Monastier di Treviso, also the municipality of San Biagio di Callalta, then flowing further south into the Vallio River.

The Abbey of Santa Maria di Pero
On the banks of the Meolo River stands the ancient and evocative Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria di Pero, built more than a thousand years ago. The delicate and ancient jewel of monastic architecture has been restored to its original splendor following meticulous restoration work.
For more information about the beautiful and austere abbey and the gardens and cloisters that make it unique, you can visit the official website of the monastery situated at Via Monastero, 3, 31050 Monastier di Treviso (TV).
The Abbey of Santa Maria di Pero shows how even a small rural village immersed in the Po Valley can hide treasures of inestimable historical, artistic and cultural value that deserve to be (re)discovered and admired.
