For the first time I found the possibility of visiting the Palazzo dei Trecento during the exhibition commemorating the 100 years of the Air Force. It was a great experience. Ours was very interesting and intriguing, from the photos explained in detail to the samples of suits, even a fighter model. set up outside, it is a marvel for admirers. For those who didn't have the chance, I leave two photos. ??

Palazzo dei Trecento, also known as Palazzo della Ragione, is one of the most important architectures in the historic centre of Treviso, overlooking Piazza dei Signori. Usually open for exhibitions and events. I was there to see the photographic exhibition for the 100 years of the military air force, very beautiful..

Splendid building in the historic center of Treviso. The council chamber which can be visited contains the coats of arms of the city families and is a wooden splendour. Too bad that probably due to the war destruction of 44 this splendid building is surrounded by semi-modern buildings

A visit to this ancient palace completed in the second half of 1200 is well worth it. Maybe accompanied by a bit of history.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
