Many people who visit northern Italy visit Venice, but they should also visit Treviso! A good place to start is Treviso Cathedral, built in the neoclassical style with its imposing row of columns at the main door. Inside it is quite light with many interesting features to see. Everybody goes to visit "The Annunciation" by Titian, (in a chapel next to the sanctuary) but we should also remember that one of its famous sons is Joseph Sarto - Pope Saint Pius X. He was Cathedral Canon, Diocesan Chancellor and Spiritual Director of the seminary from 1875 to 1884, before being appointed Bishop of Mantua. To the right of the sanctuary is the altar dedicated to Saint Pius X, with a bronze statue sculpted by Toni Benetton in 1954 (the year of his beatification). Inside the sanctuary are two paintings depicting him as pope as well as a carved inscription above the Canons seat that he occupied in the cathedral as Canon. The crypt is also very interesting, housing the tombs of the Treviso bishops. Around the back is the Diocesan Museum – well worth a visit (but only open a few days a week) and also a recently discovered Roman pavement, possible from some ancient Roman baths.
