История Altivole
In the Asolo plain
The territory of Altivole extends across the Treviso plain, a short distance from the hill of Asolo, in an area that has kept a strong link over the centuries with the nearby town and its Renaissance history. The landscape is that of cultivated countryside, dotted with small centres and minor waterways.
The Barco della Regina Cornaro
The Barco was built at the end of the fifteenth century as the country residence of Queen Caterina Cornaro. Of the vast original complex, which included perimeter walls and several buildings, mainly the barchessa and some accessory structures survive today, while much of the area has over time been transformed or absorbed into later building.
Caterina Cornaro, queen of Cyprus
Caterina Cornaro, a member of one of the most prominent families of the Venetian nobility, had become queen of Cyprus through her marriage to King James II of Lusignan. After the deaths of her husband and son, she ceded the island to the Republic of Venice and received the lordship of Asolo in return, where she spent part of her life, also frequenting the residence of Altivole.
San Vito and the countryside
The hamlet of San Vito lies in the Asolo countryside, in a rural setting consistent with the rest of the municipal territory. The settlement retains an agricultural character, with farms dedicated to field cultivation that shape the surrounding landscape.
