More on Castelfranco Veneto

I’ve already mentioned our second visit to Castelfranco Veneto magnificent walled town at https://longoio3.com/2017/08/20/a-giorgione-beauty/ .  I promised more photographs of this highly attractive north Veneto town. So here they are for your delectation.

Hope you can make it there one day, even just for the fabulous Giorgione painting in the Duomo:

Notice also that in the height of the Italian tourist season you can come across quiet places. The worst mistake for any traveller to Italy is to hit such places as Venice and Florence in the height of summer. Not only are they intolerably hot but they are massively crowded and overpriced. Choose autumn or spring for these towns. Place like Castelfranco Veneto; however, can be enjoyed at any time of the year .We ate rather well at the Torre restaurant at Pizzeria at Castelfranco, just by the walls. (Although I’m sure you’ll find several other equally good places to eat.

Note also the opening hours for Giorgione’s house (which contains further of his works).
