Asolo (Treviso)

Asolo, the most beautiful village in Italy in the province of Treviso, already contains everything in its name: from the Latin asylum, refuge, privileged residence chosen by those who want to soothe their troubles, live in peace, create.

What is the secret of Asolo, where Freya Stark retired after having explored half the world; where in solitude Malipiero composed his music that nobody understood?

The secret, perhaps, lies in the ancient harmony between places of nature and works of man which, in the Renaissance, Alvise Cornaro defined as the "Venetian measure".

Here the visitor, wrote Giovanni Comisso, can dissolve in “an ecstatic dream from which he would never want to wake up”.
