Giussago
Welcome to Giussago!
Hello everyone, today we'll be talking about Giussago, a small hamlet in the town of Portogruaro in the province of Venice. If you've never been here before, you're invited to come and discover this wonderful location and have a beautiful experience.
History of Giussago
To start, it's interesting to know the history of Giussago. According to the Portogruaro historian Ernesto Degani, the birth of the parish of Giussago dates back to the 4th or 8th century. In 1989, excavations confirmed the presence of buildings of the ancient church of S. Martino, with Roman artifacts such as bricks and tile fragments. Additionally, the villa of Giussago is listed among the parishes in the protection charter granted by Pope Urban III to Bishop Gionata in 1186.
Torresella and the Battle of Caporetto
But the history of Giussago is also linked to the Great War. In fact, the 13th reconnaissance and combat squadron arrived in Torresella on May 24, 1915, and remained until May 29. After the Battle of Caporetto, Torresella became an Austrian camp and hosted the FliK 41J, the unit of Austrian aviation ace Godwin Brumowski. A piece of history that can still be relived today by visiting the places where these epic events took place.
What to visit in Giussago
Now let's move on to what to visit in Giussago. First of all, I recommend visiting the ancient church of S. Martino, where you can admire the ancient buildings and various historical testimonies of the past. Furthermore, I recommend the Museum of the Great War of the Piave in Portogruaro, where you can discover the history of the war events that affected Giussago. Lastly, for nature lovers, you can take a walk along the Lemene river that runs through Giussago, enjoying the landscape and surrounding nature.
