July 6 - Heading north-west from Venice to Asiago. One of our stops was at the township of Bassano del Grappa. This was a town with wide open piazzas and a covered bridge. It is most famous for grappa - "firewater" made from pomace (discarded grape seeds, stalks and stems). Potent stuff! We visited the Poli distillery and Owen bought a bottle which he shared with friends for the rest of our trip.

| This famous covered bridge was designed by Palladio in 1569. It has been rebuilt several times - the last time after WWII. |
