The Grassaga, a canal of the Lower Piave, "is born" near Roncadelle: the spring water seems to come out of this pipe that connects it to the Bidoggia canal, which in this photo is beyond the houses and the road that runs alongside it: via Bidoggia di Roncadelle, in fact, which then becomes via Postumia di Faè.

The old name of the Meolo river is Pero. This is why, in these parts, river and place names blend together

The sources of the Meolo river are about 200 m away. from the bridge, unfortunately it was not possible to approach them because they were fenced off. It originates east of Breda di Piave, in the Campagne area, and flows for about twenty kilometers in the provinces of Treviso and Venice, crossing, among others, San Biagio di Callalta and Monastery of Treviso. At the town of the same name, the river bifurcates: the new main axis, maintaining the name of the Meolo river, heads south and flows shortly afterwards into the Vallio; the historic course, called the Meolo flowway, moves towards the south-east and its waters flow partly into the Colatore Principale reclamation canal and partly, by means of a structure that bypasses the previous watercourse, into the Fossetta canal. This situation is the result of the reclamation that affected the Lower Piave and was completed in the 1930s. Along its course there are country residences built by Venetian families between the 15th and the 19th centuries as well as the former Abbey of Santa Maria di Pero

The Lia river ends here: it delivers its waters to the Monticano and in turn leaves them to the Livenza to reach the sea. The Lia is an ancient river that marks the territory. Born in what is now the Gambrinus park (that of the shrimp of this river), you can cross it under the bridge of the Church of the Templars of Ormelle and you can hardly follow its meanders in Colfrancui. Here you can greet its waters and its millenary memory of this territory

The Grassaga, the Basso Piave canal, "was born" near Roncadelle: the spring water seems to come out of this pipe that connects it to the Bidoggia canal, which in this photo is beyond the houses and the road that flanks it: via Bidoggia di Roncadelle, in fact, which then becomes via Postumia di Faè. Leave via Bidoggia, walk along a short stone road and you will find the canal between two embankments without a path, but beaten by tractors: it is better to start from the one on the left. As you can see from the second photo, the small watercourse swells slowly and can be traveled along the banks, at least as far as the industrial area of Ponte di Piave-Levada. Here the routes are interrupted by the railway, the industrial area and the Postioma and, to find them, you have to arrive in via Chiodo in the Candolè area. From here, taking the embankment path again, you can continue to Campo di Pietra and from here, on the asphalt of via Santa Chiara, you reach Grassaga (shortly after it joins the Bidoggia canal) and then towards Fossà and Cittanova, where the Grassaga finally becomes the Brian channel. From here, you can continue almost to the sea.
