L'histoire de Giavera del Montello
The Montello, a hill shaped by history and nature
The Montello is an isolated hill that stretches along the right bank of the Piave, largely covered in coppice woodland once managed as a timber reserve for the Venice Arsenal. Its position, dominating the plain and the river, made it a strategic site for centuries, a role that culminated in its front-line function during the First World War.
The British Military Cemetery
The territory of Giavera del Montello is home to the Giavera British Cemetery, maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which holds the graves of British and other Commonwealth soldiers who fell during the fighting on the Piave in 1918. Sober and well kept, the cemetery is a place of remembrance for those retracing the First World War sites on the Montello.
The trails and the Montello ring route
The Montello is crossed by a network of trails and unpaved roads much frequented by hikers and cyclists, including the well-known Anello del Montello, a route that circles the hill entirely through woods, clearings and viewpoints over the Treviso plain and the Piave.
The vineyards of Montello e Colli Asolani
The slopes of the Montello fall within the production zone of the Montello e Colli Asolani denomination, which includes red and white wines grown on the hillside soils near the Piave. Viticulture exists alongside forest management as the main activity tied to the hilly territory.
Giavera and the memory of the Piave
The connection between Giavera del Montello and the Piave river goes beyond wartime events: the waterway has shaped the boundaries, economies and communications of the area for centuries. Several historical and nature trails still link the municipality to the riverbanks and to other First World War memorial sites along the Piave.
