THE ITINERARY DESCRIBED BY FOGAZZARO IN HIS OWN NOVEL
"SMALL MODERN WORLD" IN 1901
The Fogazzariano Trail is a fascinating path that takes you to discover the places described by Fogazzaro in his novel “Small Modern World.” Following in the footsteps of Piero Maironi and Jeanne Dessalle, you can immerse yourself in a journey that starts from the coast of Hotel Astòre (Hotel Belvedere) and winds through breathtaking landscapes. It is a great opportunity to enjoy the nature of the Vicentine Pre-Alps, breathe in a bit of history and maybe feel part of a timeless love story.
After leaving the “Villino dei Faggi,” an adventure in the heart of nature awaits you! Descending down a path surrounded by majestic beech and spruce trees, you will immerse yourself in an enchanting forest that will take you to the former Giant's Kiosk. But don't stop there! Keep climbing, and you'll reach the stone capitol of Contrà Tezza, and shortly after you can refresh yourself at the Fontana delle Noci. This is a perfect trail for those who love the tranquility of nature and want to discover corners of our mountains.
Continuing along the Fogazzariano path, you will find yourself passing by the striking Church of the Madonna della Neve, a place that conveys so much serenity. After passing it, the road begins to climb toward the Lasse Quarries, where the landscape becomes more and more spectacular. And don't forget to stop at the Belvedere: from there you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Rio Freddo valley, a real treat for the eyes that will make your walk unforgettable!
