The best gravel rides around Vazzola

Whoever wishes to say a short prayer to Christ the Redeemer in this sanctuary may perhaps use the following text by San Francesco (Francis of Assisi), which he often and gladly spoke, and which he even left to posterity in his spiritual testament: + »We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, [here] and in all your churches throughout the whole world, and we praise you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.« The Franciscan Peter Fobes OFM comments on this in a publication as follows: “He expands the faith in the presence of God in the space where he says the prayer to all the churches in the world. He wishes to adore him who has redeemed the world in all the holy places of the world.”

Combai is a picturesque hamlet in the municipality of Miane, nestled between the Prosecco hills and the foothills of the Treviso Prealps. This enchanting village is nationally renowned for the production of Marrone di Combai IGP, a prized and very sweet variety of chestnut to which a famous and historic folk festival is dedicated every autumn, attracting thousands of visitors. The surrounding territory is characterized by a unique landscape, where centuries-old chestnut groves alternate with historic vineyards cultivated on steep hillsides. In addition to its enogastronomic richness, Combai is an ideal destination for nature and trekking lovers, thanks to a dense network of trails, such as the evocative "Troi de la Ròda", which allow you to explore the woods and enjoy wide panoramas of the Marca Trevigiana.

The Castle of Collalto is an ancient medieval manor founded in the 12th century by the noble family of the Counts of Collalto. Strategically positioned on a hill overlooking the Piave plain, the castle soon became the hub of a vast and powerful feud. Over the centuries, the structure transformed from a military fortress into a splendid noble residence, enriched with works of art including frescoes by Pordenone. Unfortunately, its crucial position on the front line during World War I led to its almost total destruction under bombardment. Today, of the glorious original complex, the evocative ruins remain, dominated by the imposing 12th-century master tower, the defensive walls, and the nearby church of San Giorgio, which bear witness to the millennial charm of one of the most important historical sites in the Marca Trevigiana.

The parish church of the Most Holy Redeemer, located in Santa Croce del Montello in the municipality of Nervesa della Battaglia, is a significant place of worship for the Diocese of Treviso. The first structure was built between 1899 and 1900, and was opened for worship precisely on the occasion of the Holy Year of the Redeemer. During the First World War, the building found itself at the heart of the fighting along the Piave line and suffered almost total destruction. It was rapidly rebuilt on the old foundations between 1920 and 1922, and then enlarged in the thirties with the addition of the side aisles and the bell tower. The building today presents itself in a neo-Romanesque style, with a stone facade and a three-nave interior embellished with a checkerboard floor in Verona and Botticino marble, while the apse houses the statues of the Redeemer and Saint Joseph.

The Colline di Cobertaldo represent one of the most authentic and evocative expressions of the Treviso wine-growing landscape, nestled in the heart of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG area. This natural amphitheater is characterized by steep slopes and old vines that draw perfect geometries along the hillsides. The unique microclimate and the mineral composition of the soil give the grapes a distinctive sapidity and elegant aromas, ranging from white flowers to tart apple. Walking among these rows means immersing yourself in a heroic peasant tradition, where each bunch is still cared for by hand, offering a sensory experience that combines history, effort, and scenic beauty.

The chapel is located in the heart of the Treviso area, along the road connecting Collalto to Barbisano. This small sacred building stands precisely in the place where, according to tradition, Blessed Giuliana was born around 1186. It is a place very dear to the local community, immersed in a suggestive hilly landscape between the municipalities of Susegana and Pieve di Soligo. Inside, one can feel a simple and authentic spirituality, linked to the figure of Giuliana who, before founding the Venetian monastery, lived her youth here. The joint dedication to Saint Lucia underlines the continuity of popular devotion for eye health, making it an intimate pilgrimage destination deeply connected to the roots of the Collalto family.
