San Dona di Piave

The landscape around San Donà di Piave is a level alluvial plain beside the Piave River, which has shaped both the town’s layout and local economy. Set in eastern Veneto between Venice and the Adriatic coast, the town developed within land reclaimed and drained for agriculture, a story documented at the Museo della Bonifica. San Donà was badly damaged during the First World War, when the Piave became a major Italian front; much of its present centre reflects reconstruction after the conflict. Its streets provide a useful introduction to the lower Piave area and Veneto’s river-and-lagoon country.
