I was not born here, but I have lived here since 1990. I don't know if that makes me an honorary citizen yet, but I love my town. I will be here to tell you what it's like to live the true Bassano del Grappa experience.
The first thing you have to know about is the "Ponte Vecchio" the old covered bridge designed by Andrea Palladio back in 1569; it's been rebuilt dozens of times. This bridge is the symbol of the town and it's pulsing heart.
The second thing you need to know is Nardini. Nardini is the oldest grappa maker in the world, dating from 1779, and the old "grapperia" on the bridge is the traditional meeting point for all Bassanese.
