The Central Padan Plain of Vicenza offers a lush, fertile landscape perfect for sightseeing and peaceful walks in nature. Visitors can stroll along the riverbanks, just a few steps from the water, and enjoy the quintessential Venetian countryside, with the Pre-Alps and Berici Hills forming a picturesque backdrop. This geographical region spans around 121 km², between the Tesina River to the west, near Vicenza, and the right bank of the Brenta River to the east. It encompasses the municipalities of Camisano Vicentino, Grisignano di Zocco, Grumolo delle Abadesse, Quinto Vicentino, and Torri di Quartesolo in the province of Vicenza, as well as Gazzo in the province of Padua.
This area is a unique part of the Venetian plain, where the environment remains unspoiled. It is marked by rivers, resurgences, and a network of streams and canals that nourish expansive meadows and fields. These lands are home to centuries-old agricultural traditions, particularly the cultivation of rice and corn.
