The springs of Gorgazzo are a site to behold. They have been called, “delizia e tormento di moti pittori,” as they are both a delight and a torment to paint because of their ever-changing colors from the rays of the sun.

Bassano del Grappa ~
Ahh, If you were to ask me what are my top 3 favorite cities in Veneto, I would definitely have to say Bassano del Grappa is surely one of them.
Bassano is home to Renzo Rossi the founder and President of Diesel, the spirit Grappa which is usually an after dinner drink but lets face it here in Veneto, its quite common to have Grappa in your caffe after lunch and dinner or maybe even just as a shot.
I can’t tell you all enough that its best to visit these lovely, quaint towns in the Winter time when there aren’t as many tourists, its kind of like you have the whole city to yourself. My only advice would be not to go on a Sunday as we did here.. Haha! It was still just as amazingly beautiful with tons of people.. I love to people watch anyhow. Don’t you?
I decided to play “tourist” on a cold day in February. Roberto, my brother in law was my tour guide.
Please enjoy the photos..
The streets were a bit crowded in the beginning

Bassano Del Grappa
My husband and I both work six days a week so on Sunday we like to have “family” day. We love exploring cities in Veneto or escaping to the Venetian countryside.
Last Sunday, we visited one of my favorite cities, Bassano Del Grappa!! One of the perks of living in Treviso is I’m only a 35 minute drive to the town that’s famously known for inventing grappa. Grappa is made from the left over stems and seeds of the grapes. It’s a rather strong liquor and quite usually Italians have it in their café.

What are your plans for Sunday?
Forza Italia
Hi everyone,
Just a friendly reminder that Italy is playing tonight at 6pm.
Be sure to watch them if you can.
FORZA AZZURI!!!
I took this photo over the weekend in Bassano del Grappa. This was taken along the Ponte (bridge) Alpini. Beautiful to see so many Italian flags and the bridge lined with red geraniums.
