The city of Treviso is about 30 kilometres north of Venice. Evocative streams created by the joining of Botteniga river together with Sile river pass through the city, giving Treviso an elegant and refined appearance: the majesty of medieval palaces, recently restored, mirrors its past centuries, rich in history and tradition.
The most important city library is the "Biblioteca Comunale" in Borgo Cavour. It has been funded at the end of XIX century and it represents an extraordinarily rich and vary cultural witness: indeed it preserves ancient manuscripts of inestimable historical value. Prestigious are the initiatives of Treviso "Ateneo", funded during Napoleonic time and still operative. It is important to remember the "Museo Civico", that, in different sites, preserves documents attesting Treviso history and works of art representing all the centuries.
Very well-known are the art exhibitions of Casa dei Carraresi, in the historical centre of the city.
