Asolo, the town of a hundred horizons
Called “the city of a hundred horizons” by Giosue Carducci (famous Italian poet, writer and Nobel Prize winner for literature in 1906), Asolo is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, as every building, street and porch conveys a sense of beauty and perfect integration with the surrounding landscape: a real open air museum. Its Fortress hosted Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus, who was exiled in Asolo in 1489. Asolo has also been inspiration to poets, writers, artists and travelers. To visit Asolo means also to combine history and art together with delicious cuisine and supreme drinking.
