Source text - Italian Agli occhi del gabbiano, che vola lungo le rive del Sile, Treviso appare quasi all'improvviso, dove i due fiumi s’incontrano, come una miniatura, un cammeo nascosto degli splendori Veneziani. Una città nata dalle sue acque, che cominciano a disegnarla dalla cinta muraria, quasi completamente intatta, che difese questo primo possedimento in terraferma della Serenissima.
Valicata una delle quattro maestose porte fortificate, come sia l’acqua a scolpire l’urbanistica cittadina diventa evidente. Il fiume Botteniga, ramificandosi in tanti piccoli canali, crea isolotti, ruscelli, fontane e piccole cascate che, scrosciando, danno vita a panorami visivi e uditivi unici, come quello che si può apprezzare al canale dei Buranelli dove, un tempo, le donne lavavano i panni accostandosi a questa bassa sponda. Un romantico angolo, un ponte di pietre, I salici e il suono dell’acqua che scorre.
Scendendo lungo il suo corso, il canale si dirama ulteriormente, creando un isolotto, sul quale sorge l’antica pescheria che, dopo l’ombra di due file d’alberi, culmina in un antico mulino ancora funzionante, per poi sfumare sulla via che porta alla Loggia dei Cavalieri, un tempo simbolo del potere delle Signorie.
Da qui, in pochi passi, si arriva al cuore pulsante della vita cittadina: Piazza dei Signori, da molti secoli centro della vita politica e sociale.
Translation - English Through the eye of the seagull that flies along the Sile’s slopes, Treviso appears almost suddenly, where the two rivers meet, like a miniature, a hidden cameo of Venetian splendor.
A city born from its waters whose courses begin to sketch the almost completely intact surrounding walls, defence of what used to be the first estate on terra firma of the Most Serene Republic of Venice.
When you cross one of its four majestic fortified gates, the way the water sculpts the city takes over your senses. The Botteniga river, branching off into many small channels, creates oxbows, brooks, streams, creeks, fountains and small waterfalls that, pouring down, bring to life unique visual and aural landscapes just like the ones you can appreciate at the Buranelli channel where long ago women, approaching this low rising slope, used to wash clothes. A romantic corner, a stone bridge, the willows and the sound of pouring azure water, the viridian meadow, the old orange bricks.
You walk down its course, and the channel branches further, thus creating a small island, where the ancient fish market rises then climaxes, after the shadow of two rows of willows, on an antique watermill, still working, and fades away on the road that leads to the Knight Lodge, an old symbol of Signoria’s power.
From here, after just a few steps, you arrive in the beating heart of city life: Piazza dei Signori, centre of politics and social life for several centuries.
