Tempio internazionale del donatore

It is no coincidence that the Temple stands in Pianezze (1,061 m. above sea level) and particularly where, during the First World War, there was an Austro-Hungarian artillery position tasked with halting the advance of Italian soldiers on Montello and the Grappa massif. The blood shed in the battles was indeed intended to be countered by that donated to save lives. Built with donations and the collaboration of associations and individuals and inaugurated in 1979, the International Donor Temple is the first in Veneto in the 2021 ranking of the FAI I luoghi del cuore. To this day, it remains a point of reference for those who have made donation their mission. You can reach Pianezze from the center of Valdobbiadene in about twenty minutes, along a winding road and through a succession of tempting views over the plain, which on clear sky days offers a glimpse of the shimmering Venice lagoon. For those who hike: two hours of walking along the excellently maintained trail 1007.
