Levada: Church Art and Bridal Tradition

Levada offers several specific points of interest for a stay: sacred art, bridal tradition, and the Via Postumia route. If you are looking for a hotel in Levada, you can tailor your trip to these interests and decide in advance which places and activities to include in your stay.

Church Art and Remembrance

During work carried out in the early 16th century, two altarpieces were commissioned from Francesco Bissolo for the Church of San Bonifacio Martire. The church also contains the Madonna della Rondine fresco, dated to the first years of the 16th century. The small parish church of San Bonifacio preserves numerous 15th-century frescoes; its dedication to San Bonifacio is unique in the Diocese of Treviso. Two details are especially useful for establishing the chronology: the frescoes include examples from the 15th century, while the Madonna della Rondine fresco and the altarpiece commission point to the early years of the 16th century.

The Monumento ai Caduti in Levada is a sculpture made of Sarone stone by Elena Ortica and Gaetano Brugnaro. It commemorates the fallen of all wars. Its material and creators give the work a specific artistic connection, while its commemorative function sets its subject. Thus, alongside religious art, public remembrance stands as a distinct cultural focus.

Brewing Tradition and Places to Visit

The origins of the San Gabriel brewery date back to 1997. Since 2006, it has grown two-row barley directly in the Province of Treviso. A wild hop variety called bruscandolo also grows in the San Gabriel area and is associated with the historic brewing tradition in the abbeys of the region. The dates mark two different milestones: the beginning of the brewery’s history and the start of barley cultivation. Bruscandolo adds a historical connection with brewing in the region’s abbeys.

The San Gabriel company shop in Levada stocks all of the brewery’s labels. The Osteria della Birra in Levada serves traditional cuisine and includes a historical exhibition on the history of breweries. For both places, it is a good idea to check their current operating status before visiting.

At Borgo della Birra in Levada, you can see the farm animals, ride the old train, and try games from earlier times. This is a different activity from visiting the church or monument. If you plan to visit Borgo, check in advance whether the activities are available during your travel dates.

Getting Around and the Via Postumia Route

For orientation around town: in Levada, a roundabout lies at the intersection of S.R. 53 Postumia, S.P. 117 Via della Vittoria, and Via Ferrovia. The Via Postumia route runs from Levada along Via della Vittoria, Via Chiodo, and Via Grassaghella. It then crosses the Postumia regional road and continues on a cycle path towards Ponte di Piave and Salgareda. Check the current condition of the surface and for possible detours before setting out.
