Located in the heart of Marostica, Piazza degli Scacchi represents one of the most evocative views in the Veneto region. Also known as Piazza Castello, it owes its fame to the monumental white and pink marble chessboard embedded in the pavement, framed by the imposing city walls and the Lower Castle. This space becomes the protagonist every two years, in September, of the famous Human Chess Game, a historical reenactment in costume that transforms the square into an open-air theatre. Legend tells of a chivalrous challenge in 1454 held for the hand of the noble Lionora, replacing a bloody duel with a contest of wits. Beyond folklore, the square is the beating heart of city life, dominated by the scenic view of the walls that climb up to the Upper Castle.

Among the Bassano hills, the Silàn stream rises in the hamlet of Valrovina and descends along the valley of the same name, forming here a spectacular and unexpected waterfall with jutting out and natural pools of crystalline water. The waterfall ends in an enchanting clearing, in the middle of a lush forest with impressive centuries-old chestnut trees, with enormous and twisted trunks. 'Silàn' is a Cimbrian toponym that means 'place where water flows'.

The Ponte Vecchio is the symbol of the city of Bassano del Grappa, but at the same time of resilience and rebirth. Three times destroyed and three times rebuilt, the Ponte Vecchio has retained its architecture for almost 500 years. Entirely covered in wood, with the pillars sinking into the Brenta river, it is also known by the name of Ponte degli Alpini. Considered as one of the most characteristic bridges in the Veneto and Italy. The Ponte Vecchio dates back to 1567, designed by Andrea Palladio and, in 2019, it was proclaimed a national monument. Its structure is made of wood, it is 58 meters long and 11 meters high.
