Accessibility From Feltre to Quero (16 km) along the Feltre state road in the direction of Treviso; just after the train stop in Quero-Vas, make a right and climb to Quero whose town rises over the Mount Cornelia (630 m), a southern descendant of Mt. Tomatico (1594 m). The county creates a sort of natural enclosement along the Piave River just before the Treviso Plain; in its eastern side, instead, the shallower bed of the Tegorzo River limits the county. Therefore, it is obvious why Quero lies in this strategic position: it is the communication bridge between the Veneto Plains and the Belluno Mountain Area. This county was nominated by Plinio, who referred to it as the "City Hall of the Querquani." Many findings of ancient pieces of clothes prove its existence since the Roman era. Also in this area, the tombstone of Gaio Rapidio was found...a soldier of Asolo. Now the stone is kept at the parish. Quero was, during the course of history, fortified many times and it held a custom for many centuries. Nowadays, it's still possible to see Castelnuovo, next to the train station, which is the last castle built by the Venetian Republic in 1376, and from which it was possible to control both the rafting traffic over the Piave River as well as the road traffic in the Feltre area. In 1511, during the Cambrai war, the noble Venetian man named Girolamo Miani was kept in this castle. This man became famous because he was the founder of homonymous religious branch that promotes young people's education in Somasca. The town was almost completely destroyed during the first World War 1915-18 and later rebuilt. The huge parish towers over the town with its neoclassic architectural style by the Feltre architect Sebastiano De Boni and it was very appreciated by Gianantonio Selva. Inside of the parish, there are still a few elements of beautiful baroque tabernacle rich with bronze statues and paintings by Salviati and Palma il Giovane (a beautiful painting by Jacopo Bassano was stolen during the war). Nowadays, flourishing hand-crafting and industrial activities in glasses and lamp production have replaced the old wool factory. This is why the town developed toward the plateau over the Alano Valley and along the hills toward the Piave. Above everything, in a position of great environmental and scenic value, the Ossuary monument stands. It is a tribute to over 4000 soldiers who died in the Piave Battle. It is a serious structure made of porphyry, built over the valley as a castle and with prestigious architectural details. The county includes four villages. In the Feltre direction, along the state road, we can find Carpen and Santa Maria, built on terraces attached to the steep side of Mount Tomatico (1595 m). Schievenin is the most important of the villages. It lies at the bottom of the homonymous valley below the pre Alpine peaks of the mountain chain Tomatico-Grappa. In Schievenin, we find the youth center called "Col della Croce" where a little collection of mineral and fossils can be seen. The center of the town is equipped with a rest area. Still in the valley, there is a beautiful natural rock gymnasium managed by the Italian Alpine Club. In the village of Prada, just above Schievenin, there are some particular rocky formations called the "castle" of Prada. The village of Cillason (688 m) is attached to a small terrace of Mount Tomatico whose peak can be easily reached from here with two or three hours of walking. This excursion is very beautiful because of the constant panoramic view over the deep Piave Valley and to the south over the Veneto Plains. From Quero to Alano: from Quero descend to the bridge over the Tegorzo Stream, make a right and climb the Alano Gorge.
