We chose Treviso as our first stop because we felt that it was a small city with not so many sights and a good place to recharge after a long flight. But, there is quite a lot to see and do here…it’s a charming place! Some people call Treviso “the little Venice”.
We began our first day with a visit to the Cathedral of Saint Peter the Apostle known as “il Duomo”. It’s origin dates back to the early Christian era (6th century.) We were fascinated by the crypt, the oldest part of the cathedral.
With some beautiful frescos:
Later in the day, we checked out some of the osterie which serve Italian style tapas called cicchetti. Our favorite was Osteria dalla Gigia, and the specialty there is a delicious deep fried “sandwich” of mozzarella and ham called “Mozzarella in Carozza”. The place is small with standing room only…inside or outside.
Along with our snack, we enjoyed a Campari Spritzer.
There are many fun shops around town…this one sells beautifully curated produce.
The high temperature today is a very warm 84 degrees. We’re off soon to explore the Saturday market!
Cheers!
