Postioma: Chiesa di Postioma, Palazzo Tassoni and Roman traces

Chiesa di Postioma on Via Postumia

Chiesa di Postioma offers an introduction to the architectural history of the area. Its construction was commissioned in 1778 by archpriest Domenico Maggion and completed in 1795. The church was built along the route of the ancient Via Postumia. For visitors interested in culture, this site combines a specific religious building with a historic route whose significance extends beyond the mere dating of the building. Those interested in the development of Italian places will find in this connection a clear thematic introduction to Postioma.

Roman traces and archaeological finds

Clearly visible traces of the Roman centuriation have been preserved in the area around Postioma. The term refers to the Roman organization and division of land; in Postioma, this historical topic is not abstract, but is connected with visible traces in the area. When the tower in Postioma was discovered, carefully crafted fragments of glass unguent vessels from the 1st to 2nd century AD were also found. The area therefore offers two different approaches to antiquity: the centuriation represents the shaping of the landscape, while the glass fragments document a specific find from the Roman period.

Palazzo Tassoni and Villa Tassoni

The two Tassoni buildings also give Postioma a distinctive historical profile. Villa Tassoni is associated with the Istituto Regionale per le Ville Venete and is among the properties protected by this institute. G. Cagnin dates Palazzo Tassoni as early as the 14th century. The oldest frescoes on the south wall of Palazzo Tassoni are attributed to the school of Tomaso da Modena, which was active in the Treviso area around 1350. The dating of the palazzo and the artistic attribution of the frescoes raise different questions: they concern both the area's long architectural history and its connections with the artistic landscape of the Treviso area. This combination is particularly interesting for you if architecture, painting and regional history are to be considered together.

Festa di San Giorgio in 2026

Another focus is the Festa di San Giorgio in Postioma. The Festa di San Giorgio was scheduled for the period from April 17 to April 26, 2026. In 2026, this Festa included a running competition; catering with food was also planned.

Plan your visit to Postioma according to your interests

The area's history allows you to assess Postioma according to your own travel theme. The focus may be Chiesa di Postioma, with its construction period between 1778 and 1795; the ancient Via Postumia or the Roman centuriation can direct attention to the area's older history. Palazzo Tassoni and Villa Tassoni, on the other hand, lead to architecture, frescoes and the historic heritage of the Tassoni buildings. The Festa di San Giorgio sets a different focus and appeals to travelers who want to combine a cultural stay with a festive event.

Consider whether your stay should be shaped primarily by architectural history, the Roman past, art or a scheduled event date. Postioma is therefore suitable as a destination for a deliberately themed trip to Italy, in which individual historical references come together to form a personal interest in visiting.
