Arsiero occupies the confluence of the Posina and Astico waterways in Veneto’s Vicenza Prealps. The town lies in the Val d’Astico, where steep valley slopes rise towards the Asiago Plateau and the Pasubio area, creating a markedly alpine setting in northeastern Italy. Arsiero was caught up in the First World War: it was occupied in May 1916 during the Austro-Hungarian Trentino Offensive. Its compact centre remains a useful point from which to follow the routes of both valleys and understand the mountain geography of the province of Vicenza.
