We all went up to visit the grand little town of Bassano del Grappa with it's famous Ponte Vecchio and memories of the brave Italian Alpini troops. It was originally built by Andrea Palladio in the 1500s based on the site of a 12 century wooden bridge. It was destroyed during the war so had to be rebuilt.
Hemmingway wrote of the fierce action that took place in the area just north of here. Now it is the most peaceful, beautiful town.
