A bit of history...
For centuries the famous “Caffè Centrale”, at the ground floor of the
same building, has been frequented by illustrious figures, such as
Gabriele D'Annunzio, Eleonora Duse, Giosuè Carducci, Robert Browning,
Ernest Hemingway, Henry James, Hugo von Hofmansthal, Freya Stark,
Arnold Schoemberg and many others.
Since 1796, the Palazzo, has been hosting a cultural circle named
“Società del Casino”, some of his members took part in a conspiracy
against Napoleon in 1808.
More recently, in the 20th Century, Hemingway used to be in Asolo after
World War II, mostly between 1948 and 1954; in that period he met
countess Adriana Ivancich and wrote “Across the River and into the
Trees”.
He had previously lived in Veneto, in 1918, where he was helping our
soldiers during World War I, particularly in Schio, Fossalta and
Bassano. Thanks to his efforts during the Great War, in 2012 the Comune
of Fossalta has inaugurated a path (http://www.laguerradihemingway.it)
aimed to creating a ‘historical memory’ of the places where Hemingway
stood during that terrible period, and where he was seriously injured.
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
Together with its spectacular surroundings, Asolo is a must-see
destination set in one of the most interesting historical and artistic
parts of the Veneto region. In the sixteenth century, with Veneto’s
architect Andrea Palladio (1508 – 1580) a new type of mansion was born:
the temple-villa, like the near-by Villa Barbaro in Maser.
The ‘Barco della Regina Cornaro’ In ALTIVOLE it is worth mentioning.
This was the country residence of the former Queen of Cyprus Caterina
Cornaro and was built at the end of the 15th Century, adorned with
beautiful gardens, hunting grounds, canals and water games.
POSSAGNO is also very easy to reach: it is the home of the neoclassical
sculptor Antonio Canova, where his birth house and the ‘Gipsoteca’
temple can be visited in a truly inspirational environment.
CASTELFRANCO VENETO is renowned for being the birthplace of the famous
painter Giorgione. Within its spectacular medieval walls, the ‘Museo
Casa Giorgione’ allows visitors to explore the history and evolution of
the town under the influence of this artist.
BASSANO DEL GRAPPA is a medieval city, well-known for its picturesque
wooden bridge, the ceramic stores and the wine bars whereit is possible
to taste the traditional distillate of the city, ‘grappa’. This
alcoholic beverage has been made in the town's distilleries since 1779,
when the ‘Nardini’ factory (still one of the most renowned, along with
‘Poli’) was founded.
Besides its centenary-old distilleries, the city is mostly renowned for
Palladio’s ‘Ponte Vecchio’ (Old Bridge), probably one of the most
famous symbols of Italy: architect Andrea Palladio was commissioned to
design it in 1569.
Bassano is also noteworthy for the ‘Museo Civico’, one of the most
ancient in Veneto, hosting over 500 paintings from the 13th Century to
nowadays.
A few minutes away from Bassano stands Marostica with its stunning
human Chess Game. This famous game is the ultimate expression of a
local tradition and a magical moment for this town, that is also known
as the ‘City of Chess’.
