This marvelous bridge made in wood, named Ponte Degli Alpini, is dated from 1209, although it was rebuilt some times along the centuries. It is also called Ponte Vecchio, and the view one can enjoy from it, over the Brenta river and facing the Alpes during the Winter, is simply great !

It is being repaired but once it is finished it will be back to its glory. It really is very different from any other covered bridge I have seen.

Welcome to the Museum of the most Italian of spirits: Grappa. Not far from Venice, at the foot of Monte Grappa, lies the enchanting town of Bassano del Grappa, the "capital" of the very Italian distillate: Grappa. In the heart of the town, opposite the historic Ponte Vecchio, in the old "Palazzo delle Teste", is the Poli Grappa Museum. The Poli Grappa Museum, the result of a long and passionate research, the Museum was created by the Poli Family in appreciation of Grappa. The Museum consists of five suggestive rooms and visits are self-guided.

The self-guided tour of grappa making is very well done. Excellent graphics, descriptions (English & Italian) , old equipment on display. A short video gives clear explanation of making grappa. The store has wide variety of different types & sizes of grappa for sale. And a few T shirts! We went here after trying to make a tour reservation at Nardini grappa shop very near by & were treated poorly by the staff. They never answered by email request 3 weeks earlier, and wouldn't consider a tour when I asked in person. It seemed they did not like the fact that I spoke little Italian. Once the English came out of my mouth, the smile went off their faces. Poli is much better organized - Anybody, anytime can walk in in & take all of the tour or part of it. No expectations. Helpful staff too.

Ospitato nell’ex convento dei frati francescani, il Museo Civico di Bassano del Grappa è uno dei musei più antichi del Veneto e le sue prime collezioni artistiche risalgono al 1840, momento in cui affiancava, nei locali del convento, il Ginnasio, il Liceo Convitto e la Biblioteca. Attualmente ospita la più grande raccolta di opere di Jacopo Da Ponte, oltre all’ala dedicata ad Antonio Canova dove, tra i gessi e i busti, sono conservati quei monocromi che i grandi critici hanno definito come esito massimo della sua espressività artistica. Dal 2014 il Museo Civico può contare sulla nuova Galleria Civica destinata alle mostre temporanee oltre ad un’area specifica destinata alla didattica museale.

Elegantly housed in the cloisters of the former Franciscan monastery. 10 euros combined ticket for the museum and Palazzo Sturm. Open Mondays which is a bonus as many other museums have this as the 'rest' day. The excellent illustrated guide covers this museum and Bassano's other treasures. The Map spoke clearly- this is no small trip , an exciting voyage with some of the greats. Great Archaeological Section. The Parolini Room with Guariento di Arpo's 'signed' crucifix. The Da Ponte aka Bassano section includes a portrait of the great man himself. The Canova room is 'heads' above the rest with priceless monochromes found only here. On request , (I asked of course) his two precious albums can be viewed more closely. Swoon Time for me ! Could it get better ? A wall of Tiepolo. Then Hayez. Lotto. A Mantegna of San Sebastiano. Grubacs. Sacchi........the quality is astounding. Top that ? A room devoted to Bassano's famous Tito Gobbi .Original costumes with the odd Zeffirelli design here and there plus a screen examining each glorious creation with soundtrack to match. Bravo ! Even if you aren't into Art, the interior of this museum has to be viewed for the architecture alone. Superb Staff . Thanks to Alice and Claudio who know so much about the collection.
4. Grapperia Nardini
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 489 reviews
Grapperia on the Bridge is the historic location of Nardini, the oldest distillery in Italy and the only one established in Bassano, in the Veneto region. A truly fascinating place, that has witnessed the unfolding of key events in European history since 1779. The Grapperia, located on the eastern bank of the Brenta river, has been officially recognized as one of the Historic Places of Italy and has remained unchanged over the centuries. The perfect setting to savor a unique "aperitivo", a place where locals and visitors mingle and experience the sheer magic of Nardini grappa and Nardini history.

We had a very good presentation on the history of the business, a short video, and tasting of a wide varieties of grappa. A place to go for the birthplace of grappa.

Museo storico culturale delle due guerre mondiali che hanno coinvolto la città di Bassano del Grappa e degli alpini che qui hanno combattuto.

6 days on from our visit to the Alpini museum and we are still talking about the experience. I would recommend visitors to Bassano del Grappa schedule this museum as early as possible, the things you will learn will add significant value to the rest of your stay. Please also consider adding the Hemingway museum to your plan too... really worth while. The Alpini museum needs to be marketed better and should charge more per ticket, travellers to the town must be given every chance to spot this gem.
