Conegliano
A walk in Contrada Granda, in the center of Conegliano, is recommended. The town is known in Italy and throughout the world for the fame given to it by its great painter Gian Battista Cima (1459-1518), for the first Enological School established in Italy (1876), and especially for Prosecco Docg. A curiosity. In 1574, during the passage of Henry III, King of Poland, who was traveling to Paris to be crowned King of France, the community of Conegliano made the white wine from the hills flow for an entire day from the Neptune fountain, a tradition that has been repeated on important occasions. The book “Conegliano con il gusto in bocca e gli occhi all’insù,” published by Club Magnar Ben, collects anecdotes and enogastronomic curiosities of this authentic Venetian gem for a journey into the taste and history of the “Urbs Picta,” the painted city.
