To know
Formerly a Roman municipality with the name of Tarvisium, flourished in the Middle Ages and under the rule of the Republic of Venice. The heart of the city is the Piazza dei Signori, around which there are numerous buildings, including the "Bell Tower" and the "Palazzo dei Trecento". Giuseppe Mazzotti defined Treviso "the most frescoed city in Italy".

When to go
Cities to visit in every season, enjoying every corner, discovering characteristic views, breathing in the lively city life.
Background
The roots of Treviso date back to the Bronze Age, during which the Paleoveneti, probably of Illyrian origin, settled on the very slight hill today corresponding to Piazza Sant'Andrea.
Subsequently conquered by the Romans, in 49 BC. obtained the title of Municipium.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, it was under the dominion of the Goths, the Lombards and then the Carolingians.
In 911 it was devastated by the Hungarians, but it rose again and in 1164 it was recognized as a free municipality by Federico Barbarossa.
After various lordships, in 1339 it passed under the dominion of Venice, and from that date its fate followed.
The origins
In ancient times people chose to preferably live near a river, because this made it possible to trade and communicate more easily, moreover there was water and food available, but above all the river represented a natural defense against any invasions. Even the ancient inhabitants of Treviso chose the area of the river Sile for these reasons, attracted also by the products that the nearby woods provided. The first traces of settlement in the historic center can be found on three hills, because elevated places close to rivers were rightly preferred. The first findings, of huts with a beaten clay base, are estimated to be between 1500-1400 BC. C., the first village should have risen on the top of today's Sant'Andrea hill, about 18 meters high and protected by water. Subsequently the inhabitants expanded on the other hills, identifiable in the current Piazza Duomo and Piazza dei Signori. The village then acquired more and more importance because of its possibility of trade.
The Roman era
At the time of the Romans, the territory was divided according to the Roman centuriation and in 49 BC. C. Treviso became municipium. In this period, the main streets of the city were built, the cardo and the decumanus, and the city continued to intensify transport and trade with the neighboring cities, especially with the city of Altino, then an important seaport on the Adriatic. The ancient one passed through Treviso via Postumia, which connected Genoa to Aquileia.
The communal age
From the second half of the eighth century, Treviso also became one of the most important mints of the time. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the city became more and more prestigious, extending its borders. He also became half of illustrious personalities, including Dante and Tomaso da Modena who were attracted by the desire for beauty that was breathed in this city: new churches and palaces were built and embellished or decorated in a surprising way, Treviso was also called "Urbs Picta ”, That is, painted city.
The era under Venice
Over the years the river Sile increased its importance: the course of the waters was exploited by building many mills, the activity of which will make the city "the granary" first of the surrounding territories, then of the Republic of Venice: the city was understood by this last in 1339 becoming a fundamental center. When in 1500 the League of Cambrai decided to fight the lagoon city, Treviso was fortified by entrusting the famous Fra 'Giocondo with these works, succeeded by Lorenzo di Ceri and Bartolomeo d'Alviano. The appearance of the city changed by building the walls that still surround the historic center today and three gates were built: Porta Santi Quaranta, Porta San Tommaso and Porta Altinia. The Republic of Venice depended on Treviso not only for the agricultural production of the flour produced by the Sile mills, but also for the wood, coming from the Cansiglio and Montello woods, destined for the construction of ships and transported by river.
From Napoleon to the Two Wars
In the nineteenth century with Napoleon and the Austrians many convents and churches were used as warehouses or barracks, causing enormous damage to the artistic heritage. A further catastrophe for the palaces of the painted city and for the churches was caused by the two world wars and above all by the bombing of 7 April 1944.
