Pieve di Soligo

An imposing building in the heart of Pieve is the cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, a neo-Romanesque monument (with some neo-Gothic elements) built in the early twentieth century, by the architect Domenico Rupolo.

The most valuable work of art kept in it is the altarpiece by the early-sixteenth-century painter Francesco da Milano, representing the Assumption of the Virgin and dating back to 1540.

It rises about 70 m and contains a powerful concert of 3 bells on a diatonic scale of Reb3 major, cast by the Premiata Fonderia De Poli of Vittorio Veneto (TV).

The secondary schools of some relevance for the city are: In 1995 a name was adopted for the new Institute by the sculptor Marco Casagrande born in Miane, who lived in the nineteenth century and became famous in Hungary, which brings to mind one of the many artists and intellectuals who flourished in this land.

There is a great rivalry between the two districts, so much so that on the occasion of the village festival called "Lo Spiedo Gigante", which in October 2006 celebrated its 50th anniversary, there is also the tug-of-war that was once held on the bridge over the Soligo.
