Scorzè

In the Middle Ages it was a feud of the bishops of Treviso, who had as vassals in the territory several families, in particular the Tempesta and the Scorzadis; then part of the Serenissima; since 1866, after the treaty of Vienna becomes a comune in the Kingdom of Italy, then Republic.

Built in the 12th century, the castle of Scorzè was set on fire and destroyed by Ezzelino III da Romano in March 1241 until a few years later the mayors of Treviso removed the embankments.

From the Austro-Hungarian maps of 1841 conserved in the Venice State Archives it is possible to deduce the exact position, the shape and the dimensions of the castle and the embankment on which it was built.

Built between 1888 and 1889 on the initiative of the mayor Frattin on a project by architect Alvise Motta, with a cost of 45,000 lire (192,634 in 2019), it was inaugurated on March 14, 1889, on the occasion of the birthday of King Umberto I.

The last radical intervention on the building was made between 2007 and 2010, with a structural consolidation, the total renovation of the interiors and the addition of some rooms on the back.

In 2016 the fountain is completely redone and dedicated to the industrialist Giuliano De Polo (1943–2004), historic president of Acqua Minerale San Benedetto from 1970 to his death.
