Piave In Book - Enhanced - English

The Piave River has always been a vitally important source of life: man has drunk its water, used it to irrigate his crops, exploited its current to turn the grindstones of the mills and to make electricity. For centuries it was an important transport route up to Venice for rafts loaded with men and valuable goods and it accompanied the transhumant flocks along its ponors. The Piave has also moulded the surrounding landscape with its slow yet continuous meandering, making the countryside here the glory that it is today: an area rich in surprises waiting to be discovered.


Piave In Book came about within a project conceived by the Provinces of Belluno and Treviso, and the BIM Piave Venezia Consortium to promote the areas along the banks of the Piave and unveil their many treasures, traditions and history, as well as local delicacies, nature trails and many other aspects that will entice visitors to come and enjoy this area. Alongside Piave In Book, Piave In and Piave In App were also created, an internet site and application for iOS and Android devices aimed at developing sustainable tourism and increase the appeal of this rural region.
