History

Some believe that Treviso derived its name from the
Celtic word "tarvos" mixed with the

During the Roman period, Christianity spread to Treviso. Tradition records that St.
Prosdocimus, a Greek who had been ordained bishop by
St. Peter, brought the Catholic faith to Treviso and surrounding areas. By the 4th century, the Christian population grew sufficient to merit a resident bishop. The first documented bishop was John the Pious who began his episcopacy in 396 AD.
Early Middle Ages
Treviso went through a demographic and economic decline similar to the rest of Italy after the fall of the
Western Empire; however, it was spared by
Attila the Hun, and thus, remained an important center during the 6th century. According to tradition, Treviso was the birthplace of
Totila
Totila, original name Baduila (died 1 July 552), was the penultimate King of the Ostrogoths, reigning from 541 to 552 AD. A skilled military and political leader, Totila reversed the tide of the Gothic War, recovering by 543 almost all the t ...

Ostrogoths during the
Gothic Wars. Immediately after the Gothic Wars, Treviso fell under the Byzantine
Exarchate of Ravenna until 568 AD when it was taken by the
Lombards, who made it one of 36
ducal seats
and established an important mint. The latter was especially important during the reign of the last Lombard king,
Desiderius

Frankish Empire. People from the city also played a role in the founding of
Venice.
Charlemagne made it the capital of a border march, i.e. the
''Marca Trevigiana'', which lasted for several centuries.
Middle Ages
Treviso joined the
Lombard League, and gained independence after the
Peace of Constance (1183). This lasted until the rise of
seignories in northern Italy.
In 1214, Treviso was the scene of the
Castle of Love that turned into a war between Padua and Venice. Among the various families who ruled over Treviso, the
Da Romano The Ezzelini were a noble family in medieval Italy. The family was founded by Ecelo (Ezzelo), who received the fiefs of Romano d'Ezzelino and Onara

Venetian rule
After a Scaliger domination in 1329–1339, the city gave itself to the
Republic of Venice
The Republic of Venice ( vec, Repùblega de Venèsia) or Venetian Republic ( vec, Repùblega Vèneta, links=no), traditionally known as La Serenissima ( en, Most Serene Republic of Venice, italics=yes; vec, Serenìsima Repùblega de Venèsia, ...
, becoming the first notable mainland possession of the Serenissima. From 1318 it was also, for a short time, the seat of a university. Venetian rule brought innumerable benefits; however, Treviso necessarily became involved in the wars of Venice. In 1381 the city was given to the duke of Austria, and between 1384 and 1388 it was ruled by the despotic Carraresi.
Having returned to Venice, the city was fortified and given a massive line of walls and ramparts, still existing; these were renewed in the following century under the direction of
Fra Giocondo
Giovanni Giocondo, Order of Friars Minor, (c. 1433 – 1515) was an Italian friar, architect, antiquary, archaeologist, and classical scholar.

The waterways were all navigable and "barconi" would arrive from Venice at the Port of Treviso (Porto de Fiera) pay duty and offload their merchandise and passengers along Riviera Santa Margherita. Fishermen were able to bring fresh catch every day to the Treviso fish market, which is held still today on an island connected to the rest of the city by two small bridges at either end.
French and Austrian rule
Treviso was taken in 1797 by the French under
Mortier, who was made duke of Treviso. French domination lasted until the defeat of
Napoleon, after which it passed to the
Austrian Empire. The citizens, still at heart loyal to the fallen Venetian Republic, were displeased with imperial rule and in March 1848, drove out the Austrian garrison. However, after the town was bombarded, the people were compelled to capitulate on the following 14 June. Austrian rule continued until Treviso was annexed with the rest of
Veneto to the
Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
20th century and later
During World War I, Treviso held a strategic position close to the Austrian front. Just north, the

During World War II, one of several
Italian concentration camps was established for Slovene and Croatian civilians from the
Province of Ljubljana in Monigo, near Treviso. The
Monigo camp was disbanded with the Italian capitulation in 1943.
The city
suffered several bombing raids during World War II. A large part of the medieval structures of the city center were destroyed—including part of the
Palazzo dei Trecento, later rebuilt—causing the death of about 1,600 people.
In January 2005, a bomb enclosed in a candy egg and attributed to the so-called
Italian Unabomber detonated on a Treviso street.
Geography
Treviso stands at the confluence of
Botteniga with the
Sile, north of Venice, east of Vicenza, north-east of Padua, and south of
Cortina d'Ampezzo.
The city is situated some south-west the right bank of the
Piave River, on the plain between the
Gulf of Venice and the
Alps.

Education
Universities
As early as
1231 the city was looking for a doctor able to teach a course in Treviso, but it was not until 1269 that the canon Florio de' Dovari of
Cremona was appointed, probably the first professor of law. In 1313-1314, it is recorded that the municipality guaranteed the presence of two Law professors, an ordinary and an extraordinary one, a third professor to teach Canonic Law and a fourth to teach Medicine. Even though the city had its own university in the Middle Ages, only in recent times the
University of Padua,
Ca’ Foscari and the
IUAV of Venice established their own university campuses, giving once again the status of “university city” to Treviso. Classes are held at the former hospital of Battuti and the former Military District. In 2015 the University IUAV of Venice closed its campuses in Treviso, moving its degree courses to Venice.
Culture
Libraries
The public library has five locations, three of which are located in the city centre. There are also some private foundations, such as the documentation center of the Fondazione Benetton Studi e Ricerche with a library annex, at Palazzo Caotorta, the Biblioteca Capitolare and the Biblioteca del Seminario. The Liceo Canova also has an interesting library on the ground floor of its main headquarters, in Via San Teonisto.

Cuisine
Going in order, the most typical appetizer is the
soppressa, a soft cured meat cut into thick slices, usually accompanied by
polenta and radicchio. Among the first courses, the "''risi''" (with liver or accompanied by seasonal vegetables such as asparagus, radicchio, peas or "''bisi''"...) and soups (in particular the simple capon broth with tortellini, the bean soup and the sopa coada) can be mentioned. As for the main course, feathered game and poultry stand out: roasted guinea fowl with "''pevarada''" (a sauce made with liver and anchovy paste), boiled chicken, goose (often seasoned with celery), spit roasted duck and capon stew.
There is also fresh-water fish and in particular eel, "''bisatto''" in dialect, fried or stewed with polenta, fresh-water shrimp, trout and codfish (in Treviso and in the Triveneto commonly called "baccalà"). Even vegetables are often protagonists of the Trevisan table, and in particular, the famous Red Radicchio of Treviso. Although the province is rich in cheeses (

crostoli and castagnole for Carnival, the Easter "''fugassa con le mandorle''", the Favette dei Morti. The most famous white wine is certainly

Chardonnay grapes as far as white wines are concerned and
Cabernet,
Merlot,
Pinot noir and
Raboso as far as red wines are concerned.
