So...you are probably wondering where I grew up. I am from Conegliano Veneto, but...where is that??
Here is a map of the Veneto area. Veneto is one of the 20 Regions of Italy (like the US is divided in States, Italy is divided in "Regioni").
The Regione is further divided into 7 Provinces or "Province":
1.Belluno 2. Padova 3. Rovigo 4. Treviso 5. Venezia 6.Verona 7. Vicenza. A province is composed of many towns ("Comune" or "Citta"). I am from the town of CONEGLIANO VENETO in the TREVISO Province. Here is a map of all the Provinces in Veneto:
Conegliano ("Conejan" in the local dialect) is a town in the Veneto region of Italy, in the Province of Treviso. It's located only 50 Km from Venice (45 minutes by train!).
Conegliano ("Conejan" in the local dialect) is a town in the Veneto region of Italy, in the Province of Treviso. It's located only 50 Km from Venice (45 minutes by train!).
The population is about 36,000 people. The remains of the castle that was built in the 10th century remain on a nearby hill. Formerly belonging to the Bishop of Vittorio Veneto now houses a small museum.
