he Venetian plain extend before us; at our backs are the foothills to the Alps. These images reveal the importance of the hills between Marostica,Bassano and Asolo:a border land. It is here that two natural kingdoms join and even overlap. Up from the south come the last outposts of organisms that love the warm, dry climates; down from the north come those that need cold, wettish ones. The olive tree dwells mainly on the sunny slopes, in the company of various shrubs and wild herbs and grasses which share the same need for dry terrain, good light and great deal of sun.A rich and varied mosaic: this is the identity of the natural environment of these hills.There is no boundless scenery, just the harmonious union of the diverse parts creating a fine and pleasant landscape, separated only from the Brenta river flowing in the lowland. In this idyllic place people live surrounded surrounded by archaeological beauties, among tradition, memory of the past, arts and modernity.
