The area known as “Graticolato Romano” currently extends between the provinces of Padua and Venice but, at the time of the Romans, it was part of a larger area.
Padua was the center, but the affected area reached to the north up to the foothills of Asolo, to the east as far as Quarto d’Altino and the Venetian lagoon, to the south up to the bed of the Adige and Adria, and to the west to the current borders of the province of Verona.
With Graticolato Romano, we mean an area, generally flat, divided into square plots measuring 710 meters on each side, established in the 1st century BC by the Romans and intended for agriculture, traced in the manner of the Centuriazioni with a Cardo and a Decumano and usually governed by retired legionaries.
