Valdobbiadene (Italian: [ˌvaldobˈbjaːdene] ; Venetian : Valdobiàden) is a town and comune (municipality) in the province of Treviso, Veneto, Italy. Valdobbiadene is a wine growing area: located below the Alpine-Dolomite areas of Veneto, the climate allows the cultivation of the Glera variety of grape.

Contents

The Conegliano Valdobbiadene area is the home of the best Prosecco, an extra dry sparkling white wine. Prosecco brands that derive from this area include Altaneve, [3] Bisol, Mionetto, Col Vetoraz, Coda, Valdo and others.

On 7 July 2019, Le Colline del Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. [4]

History

The territory was subjected to Treviso until 1178, after which it was occupied by the Ezzelini family until 1260, when it returned under the jurisdiction of Treviso. Constantly plagued by battles and depredations, around the middle of the 14th century it fell under Venetian domination: this put an end to feudalism and, while respecting the political power of the Serenissima, Valdobbiadene was divided into its fifteen rural communities (so-called "Rules"), obtains a semblance of autonomy with the self-government of the Merighi, men democratically elected among the heads of the family. With the arrival of Napoleon and then, with the Austrian domination, the Regole disappeared and the Municipalities arose, first three, then two: Valdobbiadene, San Pietro di Barbozza and Bigolino, which survived only a few years (later also San Pietro di Barbozza will be incorporated into the Municipality of Valdobbiadene).

G. Verdi" Higher Education Institute

In the municipality there are pre-school, primary and lower secondary schools. The secondary school of some importance for the city is the "G. Verdi" Higher Education Institute (I.S.I.S.S.), which hosts the following courses: high school, technical and professional.

It was founded as an autonomous state institute in 1999, aggregating the different courses of study present in the area into a single Higher Secondary Education Institute. In the curriculum design phase, the Verdi Institute took into account both the existing directions and the training and professional needs that the territory expressed. [10]

Economy

The nascent bourgeoisie in the 19th century made up of merchants, notaries, landowners who acquired the lands of the Venetian nobility and who held political power in their hands, embellished the square with palaces. The silk industry develops, thanks to the Piva family. During World War I the territory was the target of heavy bombing and was evacuated. With the return and reconstruction, wine cultivation developed.

Valdobbiadene, nearby Conegliano and their hills are considered the cities of the Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene wine and, in particular, of the Superiore di Cartizze type and also included in the Città del Vino circuit and has been the home of the National Sparkling Wine Exhibition, now the Sparkling Wine Forum of Italy, for over forty years.

Infrastructure and transport

Between 1913 and 1931 Valdobbiadene represented the northern terminus of the Montebelluna-Valdobbiadene Tramway, which at the time represented an important development tool for the economy of the area.

The town is served nearby by the Alano-Fener-Valdobbiadene station on the Calalzo-Padova railway, connected directly by the MOM with bus line n.126, [11] while the center of Valdobbiadene is connected to Treviso by the MOM bus line n.110: Treviso, Postioma, Montebelluna, Valdobbiadene. [12]

Prosecco Hills Link is the new intermodal solution born from the synergy between Trenitalia and MOM-Mobilità di Marca. You will be able to arrive in Conegliano by train and comfortably reach by bus the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a privileged destination for food and wine and nature tourism, now known to the international public and a place declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO world of humanity.
