Location

Situated in Treviso administrative department, numbering over 36.000 inhabitants, Conegliano lies among Prosecco-producing vineyards and winemakers from all over Italy learn their craft at Conegliano at the oldest Oenological School of Italy (1876). Via XX Settembre, the winding and arcaded main street is lined with fine 15 th to 18 th-century buildings, many in the Venitian Gothic style or decorated with fading frescoes. The Duomo contains the town’s one great work of art, an altarpiece painted by local artist Cima da Conegliano (1457-1517) depicting the Virgin and Child with Saints (1493). The detailed landscapes in the background of his paintings were based on the hills around the town, the same views can still be seen from the gardens surrounding the Castelvecchio (old castle).
