The Rialto Bridge of Valstagna is an important infrastructural work located in the municipality of Valbrenta, in the province of Vicenza. Crossing the Brenta river, this bridge historically connects the inhabited area of Valstagna, on the right bank, to the hamlet of Carpanè and the SS 47 of Valsugana, on the left bank, representing a vital hub for local traffic and for cycle tourists on the Brenta Cycle Path. Recently, the structure has undergone a radical restoration and safety intervention, which concluded with its reopening in the summer of 2025. The works, worth over one million euros, have made it possible to repair the damaged parts, widen the roadway, and create a protected pedestrian walkway. A spectacular LED lighting system has also been installed, which colors the bridge during historical events such as the Palio delle Zattere.

La Ciclovia del Brenta is a picturesque cycle touring route that winds for about 140 kilometers, connecting Caldonazzo in Trentino with Chioggia, overlooking the Venice lagoon. The route follows the course of the Brenta river, offering an extraordinary variety of landscapes. The first section, known as the Ciclopista della Valsugana, gently descends through the mountains along the lake, then enters a valley rich in woods, rocky walls, and historic villages like Bassano del Grappa. Continuing towards the Venetian plain, the itinerary passes through important art cities like Padua and transforms into the famous Riviera del Brenta, renowned for its monumental Palladian and patrician villas. The route finally concludes at the gates of the Adriatic Sea. Mostly flat and largely paved or on compact dirt, the cycle path is suitable for cyclists of all levels.

Located in the heart of Marostica, Piazza degli Scacchi represents one of the most evocative views in the Veneto region. Also known as Piazza Castello, it owes its fame to the monumental white and pink marble chessboard embedded in the pavement, framed by the imposing city walls and the Lower Castle. This space becomes the protagonist every two years, in September, of the famous Human Chess Game, a historical reenactment in costume that transforms the square into an open-air theatre. Legend tells of a chivalrous challenge in 1454 held for the hand of the noble Lionora, replacing a bloody duel with a contest of wits. Beyond folklore, the square is the beating heart of city life, dominated by the scenic view of the walls that climb up to the Upper Castle.
