Pero: Church history and a route along the Musestre

Two themes are useful when planning a stay in Pero: the history of its churches and walking routes. These include the Chiesetta di San Giovanni, the present-day parish church of S. Colombano Abate, the Camminata del Draghetto, and a route along the Musestre River.

Church history in Pero

The Chiesetta di San Giovanni was built in the 12th century; its construction marked the emergence of Pero di sopra. The chapel is in Pero, by the Musestre River. It therefore combines a historical connection with a specific riverside location: it is part of the history of Pero di sopra’s origins and is also a landmark by the Musestre.

Pero’s present-day parish church, S. Colombano Abate, was built in 1891 in honor of Saint Columbanus. This places two historical reference points side by side: the Chiesetta is connected with the emergence of Pero di sopra, while 1891 is the construction year of the present-day parish church. Anyone exploring Pero through its church history will encounter different buildings and historical accounts.

The Camminata del Draghetto

The Camminata del Draghetto route is about 4 km long and can be walked by children, parents, and older people, including those with strollers. Its course changes from year to year. The approximate distance gives you a guide for planning, but do not expect the route to be identical every year. If the event is important to your trip, check the route details for that year.

The 2026 edition included an equestrian show, a carriage ride for children, and oversized traditional games. Participants also visited local farms and encountered animals typical of the rural area. These activities refer to the 2026 edition; for other travel dates, check the dates and program separately.

A route along the Musestre

A published route follows the Musestre River through Pero to Breda di Piave. Here, a destination is specified, while the Camminata can be gauged mainly by its approximate length and changes course each year. These two details help with different planning questions: would you like to estimate a route by its distance, or are you interested in a route with a named destination? Check current route conditions before your trip.

When choosing where to stay, it helps to distinguish between these options: the Camminata has an approximate distance, but its course varies from year to year; the river route goes as far as Breda di Piave. The churches add local history to these walking routes. If your trip depends on an event date, check the dates and program for that specific edition.
