Whoever wishes to say a short prayer to Christ the Redeemer in this sanctuary may perhaps use the following text by San Francesco (Francis of Assisi), which he often and gladly spoke, and which he even left to posterity in his spiritual testament: + »We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, [here] and in all your churches throughout the whole world, and we praise you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.« The Franciscan Peter Fobes OFM comments on this in a publication as follows: “He expands the faith in the presence of God in the space where he says the prayer to all the churches in the world. He wishes to adore him who has redeemed the world in all the holy places of the world.”

The Stradon del Bosco is a historic itinerary that develops along the southern slope of Montello, in the province of Treviso. This fascinating route, predominantly flat and immersed in nature, runs for long stretches along the Canale del Bosco, an artificial hydraulic work built in the 16th century to divert the waters of the Piave for irrigation and production purposes. Ideally connecting the area of Crocetta del Montello and Montebelluna to Nervesa della Battaglia, the road today represents an ideal destination for lovers of trekking, running, and cycle tourism, particularly for gravel and road bike enthusiasts. In addition to offering suggestive views of the pre-Alpine landscape and the typical oak woods of the hill, the trail intersects the historic "prese" (intakes) of Montello, combining naturalistic beauty with the historical memory of the territory.

The parish church of the Most Holy Redeemer, located in Santa Croce del Montello in the municipality of Nervesa della Battaglia, is a significant place of worship for the Diocese of Treviso. The first structure was built between 1899 and 1900, and was opened for worship precisely on the occasion of the Holy Year of the Redeemer. During the First World War, the building found itself at the heart of the fighting along the Piave line and suffered almost total destruction. It was rapidly rebuilt on the old foundations between 1920 and 1922, and then enlarged in the thirties with the addition of the side aisles and the bell tower. The building today presents itself in a neo-Romanesque style, with a stone facade and a three-nave interior embellished with a checkerboard floor in Verona and Botticino marble, while the apse houses the statues of the Redeemer and Saint Joseph.

The Rialto Bridge of Valstagna is an important infrastructural work located in the municipality of Valbrenta, in the province of Vicenza. Crossing the Brenta river, this bridge historically connects the inhabited area of Valstagna, on the right bank, to the hamlet of Carpanè and the SS 47 of Valsugana, on the left bank, representing a vital hub for local traffic and for cycle tourists on the Brenta Cycle Path. Recently, the structure has undergone a radical restoration and safety intervention, which concluded with its reopening in the summer of 2025. The works, worth over one million euros, have made it possible to repair the damaged parts, widen the roadway, and create a protected pedestrian walkway. A spectacular LED lighting system has also been installed, which colors the bridge during historical events such as the Palio delle Zattere.
