The river Sile
|
Stretching out over 90 km, the Sile is the longest resurgence river in Italy. It begins on the high plain, in Casacorba in the town council area of Vedelago, runs through the territory of Treviso and, after having crossed the old town of the city of Treviso, flows into the Adriatic Sea.
It was once the main route linking Treviso to Venice, helping trade and increasing the wealth of the city, which was skilled in using the many waterways running through it. In 1991, the regional natural park of the River Sile was established, both in order to safeguard the environment and promote its natural and historical facets. |
