The best walks and hikes around Moriago Della Battaglia

The Church of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows stands on Col Castello in Vidor, in a panoramic position overlooking the Piave River. Built in the 1920s, the current structure replaces the ancient building destroyed during the Great War, serving as an imposing ossuary temple and a Monument to the Fallen. The site is deeply linked to the history of the First World War, having been the scene of crucial clashes after the rout of Caporetto. Architecturally, it presents a neoclassical style, introduced by a monumental staircase that accentuates the sacredness of the place. In addition to its religious value, the church is a symbol of the historical memory of the Treviso area, offering a breathtaking view that ranges from the Piave riverbed to the Prosecco hills, now a UNESCO heritage site.

From here you can admire how man has managed to tame the hills, building this immense heritage of rows with tenacity and patience.

Immediately above Vidor, it actually marks the beginning of the Prosecco Trail. A place of historical importance, the traces of the First World War can still be felt.

In 1917, the Bishop of Treviso promised the Madonna that, in case of victory, a church dedicated to her would be built on the top of Montello. Once the war ended, in the fall of 1923, the Collesel della Val dell'Acqua, the highest peak, was chosen for the construction of the church.

1917 was a terrible year for Italy, but above all for the Treviso region. The Italian soldiers at Caporetto were defeated by the Austro-Hungarian empire and proved incapable of slowing down their advance. In those days the bishop of Treviso Msgr. Andrea Giacinto Longhin (proclaimed blessed by John Paul II on 20 October 2002), seeing the grave danger looming over the entire Venetian plain, promised that if the Madonna had spared his diocese and Italy, arresting the enemies in the afterlife Piave, he would have erected a church dedicated to the Virgin on the top of Montello.

Interesting example of twentieth-century architecture which recalls, echoing the name of the town itself, the intense and widespread cult of the Saint of Tours in the area. Its construction ended on 27 July 1927, in the same place where the oratory stood, damaged by the bombings of 1918. Inside the Temple there is a small urn containing various names of people drawn from those couples who ask Saint Martin for the grace to have children, then pledging to impose the drawn name on the newborn. The custom has been documented since May 1743 but its origins are lost in the mists of time and even today dozens of couples, coming from far away, go to the temple for this reason.

Modest height of 418 m on the western sector of the Prosecco Hills. Together with the Costa Granda hill and Col Moliana, it represents one of the highest elevations in the range between Col San Martino and Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene. Its ridge is crossed by path 1016, partly coinciding with the new "T1 - Cammino delle Colline del Prosecco". The top is characterized by the ruins of an old hunting lodge and a table with bench.

The Oratorio Sacrario dell'Addolorata Temple stands on the hill that housed the ancient medieval castle of the lords of Vidor, destroyed in 1510 during the war of the League of Cambrai. It was built in 1925 based on a design by the Venetian architect Brenno del Giudice, who was able to exploit the natural slope of the hill by creating a crypt, adding a forepart and creating a Baroque Oratory above these. The area can be reached via a path, which starts from the center of Vidor, flanked by a Via Crucis. The current complex, equipped with two small bell towers, is composed of the Temple of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows, preceded by a portico and a large terrace. On the facade, inside the highest tower, you can admire the statue of the Winged Victory, the work of the Venetian sculptor Martinuzzi. In the basement there is the ossuary where the remains of 70 soldiers, from Vidor and elsewhere, who fell during the two wars were buried. In the lower part a small museum contains war artefacts and photographic reproductions. During the 70s, in the external part, some cannons used during the 15-18 were placed.
