Noventa di Piave

Facebook

Noventa di Piave is located on the left bank of the Piave river, opposite Fossalta di Piave, to which it is connected through a characteristic pontoon bridge.

We are therefore talking about the east part of the Province of Venice and the town borders the Province of Treviso, as well as (in a clockwise direction) the municipal districts of Salgareda (TV), San Dona' di Piave (VE), Fossalta di Piave (VE) and Zenson di Piave (TV).

Noventa's town territory stretches for 1807 hectares, with an average altitude on sea level between eight m. at Romanziol and three m. at the boundary with San Dona' di Piave.
From a geological point of view the territory is characterized by alluvial silt - particularly sandy near the Piave river -, due to the recurring floods of the same river.

Thanks to the fruitful soil the agricultural activities - above all the grain cultivation and the wine-growing - are particularly intense and very satisfying, with an always excellent crop both as concerning quantity and quality.

Noventa's good geographical position makes moreover the road and railway connections easier.
Only 5 km far away there is in fact the railway station of San Dona' di Piave, on Venezia-Trieste line, and an excellent bus service connects the town with the main centres of the Province.

In Noventa there is the tollbooth of the A4 Motorway Venezia-Trieste too, which is also the main exit for all those who want to reach the near beaches of Jesolo and Eraclea.
Noventa's municipal district's population is about 6.000 units, that is around 280 inhabitants per sq km, although most of them live in the historical centre.
Noventa's hamlets' names are Romanziol, Santa Teresina and Ca' Memo.

St. Mauro Parish belongs to Treviso's Diocese.

 

 


Itinerary of Noventa di Piave. Traces of the past

Here, as elsewhere, Venice was keen to make its presence felt. Virtually all the land was bought up by numerous aristocratic families who, as was the custom, built fine villas on their property, attracted by the fertile soil, the lovely countryside and, above all the convenient river link with Venice.Tragically, Noventa was reduced to a heap of rubble in World War I after troops retreated from the front at Caporetto. Local people disregarded advice against rebuilding the town.
