The Palù of the Quartier del Piave are one of the most important areas of wet meadows in the Veneto, bordered by hedges and trees preserved since the Middle Ages, reclaimed in 1100 by the monks of the nearby Abbey of Santa Bona di Vidor. The more recent history of the Palù, however, is marked by the tragedies of the Great War, as Luigi Guizzo recalls. The village of Sernaglia della Battaglia was also involved in the epic war and here, among the memories of the village, there is a famous Osteria, managed by Silmava Pillonetto. Instead, thanks to an interesting recovery of the rural universe, Terenzio Gambin accompanies us to the homes of the peasants that seemed lost. A few kilometers away, surrounded by vineyards on narrow grassy terraces, works Chiara Barisan, a cook who has been able to revisit local recipes. Going up the hills of Refrontolo, we meet Mauro De Stefani, who has decided to devote himself to the recovery of ancient apples. Finally, in the midst of the green of the ridges, Guia appears, where Mario Canello lives together with his sons Leonardo and Silvia, lovers and expert connoisseurs of wood.
