Treviso

Treviso was prosperous in medieval times, first as a free city and later under Venice from 1389. It is a walled town with canals, winding alleys, and arcades. There are several palaces, including the Palazzo de Trecento, built in 1207. The town suffered heavy damage in World Wars I and II.

I went to Treviso, to Bassano, to Castelfranco; I took walks and drives and looked at musty old churches with ill-lighted pictures and spent hours seated smoking at the doors of cafes, where there were flies and yellow curtains, on the shady side of sleepy little squares.
