Trevignano: Routes, Palio and Culture

Trevignano combines rural routes with cultural and historical attractions. To plan your stay, you can first decide whether to focus on routes, the Palio, or buildings and art. The following differences offer concrete starting points for making that choice.

Walking and cycling on rural routes

The Agritour dei Cavedin takes hikers, cyclists, Nordic walking enthusiasts, families and tourists along quiet rural roads. The network of routes connects cultural and environmental sites; most routes are easy to walk.

The routes have different points of reference: the Trevignano–Caerano cycle path runs along the Canale Brentella. The Agritour dei Cavedin Perimetrale route follows the municipal boundaries of Trevignano and includes the other ten routes. The “ai Prai” nature trail lies in the rural landscape north of Trevignano and connects to the Trevignano–Caerano cycle path along the Canale Brentella.

Palio and local traditions

The Palio del Batar Panoce is a historic sporting event held every year in Trevignano since 1991. Six teams compete in the Palio delle Borgate, each representing a specific district of Trevignano. At the Sunday events, all the teams parade across Trevignano’s square in historical costumes before the competition. They pay tribute to past practices, tools, customs and traditions.

Buildings, art and local history

Restoration of Villa Onigo was completed around 1687 under the architect Andrea Pagnossin. The grand hall had already been decorated with frescoes by Giovanni Colombini in the mid-17th century, so the frescoes date from before the restoration was completed. Today, the villa houses the Trevignano public library and serves as a venue for exhibitions of figurative art.

The parish church of Trevignano was rebuilt between 1762 and 1769 to a design by the Venetian architect Giorgio Massari. Its façade bears a fresco of Saints Teonisto, Tabra and Tabrata; the ceiling is adorned with a large, anonymous fresco of the Assumption of Mary.

South of Trevignano, the Chiesetta di San Sisto stands just a few steps from the ancient Via Postumia, in a charming rural setting. Traces of a Roman-era necropolis have been found at the site.

The Oratorio di S. Sisto preserves a painting of the Last Supper attributed to Carlo Linzi. The Oratorio di Sant’Elena dell’aceto on the Feltrina road is the only surviving building of a hospice for soldiers and travellers.

In the village of Madonnette, old routes and historic field patterns point to Roman centuriation. Trevignano’s landscape history can also be read in these tangible features of the village.

Library and feast day

The public library has a multimedia workstation for research, printing and internet access. Registered users can use free Wi-Fi. As service information may change, check the latest library information if you plan to use the facilities.

The feast day of San Sisto features traditional Trippa alla parmigiana, singing and wine. If you plan to attend, check the programme for the relevant year.
