Dueville
Located just north of Vicenza, Dueville stretches across a fertile plain that encompasses the welcoming hamlets of Passo di Riva, Povolaro, and Vivaro. The area sits atop a unique alluvial fan brimming with pure underground water, where natural freshwater springs feed the Bacchiglione River and supply the aqueducts of Vicenza and Padua. This protected green oasis is known as the “Bosco di Dueville” (Dueville Woods), while the flowing Astico River beautifully carves the town’s borders.
Historically, this abundance of water sparked a flourishing heritage of vintage watermills, paper mills, and textile factories. Brimming with history, the municipality guards ancient Longobard necropolises and boasts a stellar collection of over 30 historic estates cataloged by the Regional Institute of Venetian Villas.
Exceptionally well-connected and easy to reach by rail or highway—including the Valdastico (A31) and the Pedemontana Veneta—Dueville is a seamless countryside escape. The town beautifully celebrates its rich culinary scene through its prized De.Co. (certified local origin) specialties, such as the mouthwatering “trota alla vivarese” (Vivaro-style trout) and the traditional “spaghi di Dueville” pasta.
