Bigolino: Discover the Piave Landscape and History

Bigolino combines the landscape along the Piave with visible traces of local and wartime history. On the left bank of the Piave lies Parco del Piave within the Settolo Basso Special Protection Area (ZPS IT3240035). The protected area covers a total of 374 hectares. Bigolino therefore offers a geographical setting where nature observation, trail experiences and historical themes are close together, without becoming a single excursion destination.

The Monumento ai Caduti di Bigolino

A concise historical landmark in the village is the Monumento ai Caduti di Bigolino, dedicated to the soldiers from Bigolino who fell in the First and Second World Wars. It was created in 1925 and restored in 2011. If you are interested in local history, this monument provides a tangible way to engage with the memory of the two world wars—not through abstract dates, but through a clearly recognizable figure and a permanently visible place.

Parco del Piave and Settolo Basso

Parco del Piave lies on the left bank of the river and within the Settolo Basso Special Protection Area. In the surroundings of Bigolino, Parco del Settolo Basso also comes into view as a natural area with floodplain greenery. The La Via delle Colline cycle path passes through this area. For your travel planning, this makes Bigolino particularly easy to explore through different interests: the Piave and the protected landscape represent nature-related themes, while the cycle path offers a separate way to experience the surroundings by bicycle.

Sentiero Natura Settolo Basso

The Sentiero Natura Settolo Basso begins on the road between Bigolino and Valdobbiadene and is marked with signpost 1021. This information is particularly useful for orientation on site if you would like to include a nature trail in your plans. The connection with Valdobbiadene also makes clear that Bigolino lies within a larger landscape area and should not be viewed solely through its local sights.

Montagnola and Its Wartime History

Montagnola is also connected with the history of the First World War. During the First World War, it was transformed by German and Austro-Hungarian troops into a heavily fortified stronghold. Together with the Monumento ai Caduti di Bigolino, this site offers another historical perspective on the area. The two themes should be considered separately: the monument commemorates fallen soldiers, while Montagnola is associated with the military fortification of a specific terrain.

Museums and Torri di Credazzo

The Tipoteca Museo and the Museo del '900 e della Grande Guerra are located in the immediate surroundings of Bigolino. In the wider regional area around Bigolino, there is also the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale. The Torri di Credazzo castle is located there as well.

Mountains Around Bigolino

The mountains Col Mongarda, Monte Moncader, Monte Barbari and Monte Tesoro are located around Bigolino. These four landscape features complement the Piave's riverbank and floodplain landscape with a mountainous dimension. This can provide helpful guidance when selecting your excursions if you would like to explore nature not only along the river but also in the wider surroundings of the area.
