Fossalta di Piave

Fossalta di Piave lies along the Piave River in eastern Veneto, where a low, cultivated plain stretches toward the Adriatic lagoon country. The town stands south of the river, amid canals, embankments and fields typical of this part of the Veneto. In 1918, the Piave sector was a major First World War front, where Italian forces stopped an Austro-Hungarian offensive. Ernest Hemingway was wounded near Fossalta while serving as an American Red Cross ambulance driver; the experience informed his novel A Farewell to Arms.
