Paese, Italian comune
Paese is a small commune in the province of Treviso in the Veneto region, situated on flat terrain surrounded by fields and green areas. The center is marked by the bell tower of the Church of San Martino Vescovo, while quiet streets lined with old houses and small shops lead through neighborhoods including Castagnole and Padernello.
Paese developed in the Middle Ages as a quiet place for farmers and craftspeople, maintaining its rural character over centuries. During the Venetian Republic era, it grew slowly as agricultural wealth and trade enabled the construction of grand villas like Villa Quaglia and Villa Onesti Bon.
The Church of San Martino Vescovo with its tall bell tower anchors the town center and serves as the community gathering place. On November 11th, the feast of Saint Martin brings people together with celebrations featuring food and music, where residents share and maintain local traditions.
Paese is easily reached by car or bus and has basic services like police station, small clinic, shops, and cafes in the center. The flat terrain welcomes pedestrians and cyclists, and Treviso's train station is a short distance away.
Paese has three train stations across its neighborhoods, which is unusual for such a small center and reflects the town's historical importance for regional connectivity. These rail connections made the commune a practical hub for residents and visitors.
