The beauty of the border

Visiting Cologna Veneta (in the province of Vicenza) is equivalent to knowing the actual mixture between the cultures and traditions that have influenced the Veneto. It is a fairly populous municipality (8700 inhabitants), but it is above all known for its geographical position: Cologna Veneta is the meeting point and border of numerous population centers, such as Vicenza (of which it is the province), Padua, Verona. The history of the place is therefore influenced by the elements of the past of each surrounding place. Cologna was a possession of the Lombards and Franks first, of the lords of Vicenza, Padua and then of the Veronese Scaligers. But, its prosperity and notoriety comes with the Venetian period; period in which the doge enriched the city with artistic and architectural masterpieces that make it, from one point of view, a 'continuation' of Venice. Tourists who come across the bell tower of the Scaligero castle, in fact, compare it to that of Piazza San Marco. Visiting other monuments and centers of interest, such as the Lapidary Museum or the Palazzo Pretorio, allows you to discover the true essence and impetuosity of the Veneto. A unique place, without a doubt, in addition to the 'melting pot' of history. In fact, Cologna Veneta, has truly unique traits that are worth knowing: events, festivals and festivals, such as the 'Sagra della Trebbiatura' express an authentic part of the people, attached to nature, to healthy and uncontaminated principles to which we you can easily bond and become one with.
