The best running trails around Torre Di Mosto

21.04.2012 In the presence of the president of the province of Venice Francesca Zaccariotto, the provincial councilors for roads and cycle paths Emanuele Prataviera and for Civil Protection Giuseppe Canali, and local administrators (the mayor of San Stino di Livenza Luigino Moro and the councilor for Budget of Caorle Sabina Teso) the cycle-pedestrian walkway for the road connection between the localities La Salute di Livenza in the Municipality of San Stino di Livenza and San Giorgio di Livenza in the Municipality of Caorle was inaugurated. The blessing of the work was performed by the parish priest don Vitaliano Gardiman, while the ribbon cutting was carried out by the young Jacopo Valeri born in 1995 and Elena Battiston, who will turn 100 in September, representing all the citizens. An important public work for the local community and for the entire Venetian area, built in just 12 months at a cost of 1,450,000 euros, to connect the two banks of the Livenza.

At La Salute and from the bridge over the Livenza, there are great views of the Livenza.

The Ponte di Tezze, which connects the banks of the Livenza river between the provinces of Treviso and Pordenone, represents a fundamental infrastructure for local mobility and history. The current structure, characterized by spans that elegantly reflect on the river's waters, stands at a historically strategic point for trade and movement between the Veneto and Friuli regions. The surrounding area is of considerable landscape value: the banks of the Livenza here offer suggestive natural views, with lush vegetation that changes color with the seasons. The bridge is not just a functional link, but a privileged viewpoint for admiring the slow flow of the river, a symbol of a territory that has managed to integrate modern development with the protection of the river environment.

“Flumen Liquentia ex montibus Opiterginis…” among the rivers mentioned by Pliny is the Livenza, in the feminine form. Almost always, however, in current language it is used as if it were masculine, due to the appellation “river” that precedes it. Regarding the origin of its name, there are two versions: some derive it from livens, from the verb livere (to be livid in color); others from liquens, from the verb liqui (to be liquid, to melt). By the ancients it was always called Liquentia and this is also because its waters teem, clear, cold and silent at the foot of the mountain above the pebbles, as if these and those were liquefying. Sacile's peculiar river is certainly one of the most beautiful waterways encountered in the plains of northern Italy. A means of communication, the ultimate defense of the nascent Veneto Domain, a source of life for its water flow and fish richness, the Livenza has always been cited by Greek and Latin authors.

The "window views" are very beautiful.
