The Piave is an idyllic, quiet river, partly with beautiful water lilies and swans, simply fairytale-like

Fossalta di Piave is an Italian municipality of 4,257 inhabitants (data updated to 2026) located in the metropolitan city of Venice, in Veneto. It stands on the right bank of the Piave river, in a flat area historically strategic for crossing the river before it flows into the sea. The town has ancient roots dating back to Roman colonization, along the Via Callalta. Its name derives from the Latin fovea alta, meaning "deep pit", probably referring to a riverbed depression. World War I: It was the scene of very hard fighting during the "Battle of the Solstice" (June 1918), which led to the almost total destruction of the inhabited area. Ernest Hemingway: The American writer was wounded right here, in the locality of Buso Burato, on July 8, 1918. This event profoundly marked his life and his works, such as the famous novel A Farewell to Arms.

A few kilometers were enough for the route to begin to tell its story. The creaking wood of a long bridge accompanied us towards one of the most silent and memory-laden places: the cemetery of the Burci. Amidst the still water and the vegetation that now reclaims every space, the wrecks of old boats emerge like forgotten thoughts, suspended between past and present. There time seems to slow down, almost to stop, and we too, for a moment, truly stop pedaling...

During World War I, after the defeat at Caporetto, the Piave River became the border between Italy and the Austro-Hungarians. The area adjacent to the river became a base for rescue battalions and troops. Among the latter was the American Red Cross, where ambulance driver Ernest Hemingway was stationed. Our places, traditions, and local people so impressed the American writer that he liked to call himself a boy from the "lower Piave." Wounded near Fossalta di Piave, he nevertheless devoted himself to saving other soldiers. From this powerful experience, he wrote his famous novel "A Farewell to Arms." The only American, Lieutenant Edward McKey, a friend of Hemingway, who fell in battle along the Piave, is buried in the Fagarè Memorial. Hemingway dedicated a poem to him, which is inscribed on the tombstone that is still visible today.
