Verduzzo Trevigiano is a white Venetian grape variety that is grown in the Eastern Veneto wine area (northeast of Italy). In the past the name Verduz referred to a wide range of grape varieties in the Venetian area. By the descriptions found, they were often morphologically very different, but shared the character of late ripening. However we can very frequently find the name Verduzzo in the ampelographic list of the 19th century, there is not any sign of this Verduzzo until the beginning of the 20th century. At that time just two varieties, with the same name Verduzzo, were still cultivated in the Veneto and Friuli area, they were what we today call Verduzzo Friulano and Verduzzo Trevigiano. The two varieties are clearly different, as demonstrated even with DNA profiling analyses in 2010 and 2011. However at the beginning of the 20th century, the two Verduzzo were called with the same name and often were present in the same vineyard and made wine together. Cosmo proposed to call the two varieties with different names: Verduzzo friulano for the varieties typical of Ramandolo production that was the only one present in that area of Friuli, and Verduzzo Trevigiano for the other one, that was present in the oriental zone of Veneto, where even Verduzzo friulano was spread, but which has a sure origin in the Treviso province how showed by the papers of Lepido Rocco.
33-575: The name Trevigiano means "from the province of Treviso " and the grape is today still widely found in the Treviso and Venezia province of the Veneto but ampelographers are not yet certain if the grape is, indeed, indigenous to the region. Anecdotal evidence speculates that the grape may have originated in Sardinia and was introduced to the region in the early 20th century but so far no DNA evidence has shown

The province is surrounded by Belluno in the north, Vicenza in the west, Padua in southwest, Venice in the south-east and Friuli-Venezia Giulia in the east. The current President of Treviso is Stefano Marcon, elected in September 2016. He is also the current mayor of Castelfranco Veneto . The province of Treviso
99-461: A link with any modern Sardinian grape varieties. Verduzzo Trevigiano is known to be a vigorous vine that can adapt to many different kinds of climate and vineyard soils . It tends to be a late ripening grape which can lend itself well to the production of late harvest wines . According to a 2000 census there were 1,734 hectares (4,285 acres) of Verduzzo Trevigiano growing in Italy, most of it within

After the Italian rout at the Battle of Custoza on 29 July, Charles Albert abandoned Milan. When Radetzky offered its citizens free passage from the city, half the population left. On 4 July 1848, the Venetian assembly voted 127–6 to approve Manin's proposal of subsumption into
165-462: A provisional central government was formed, along with a committee for each district. In 1853, there was a new reorganization of the system, with the abolition of the districts of Motta and Ceneda. This territorial organization remained largely unchanged until the 20th century. The province is mostly flat, but it has hilly terrain in the northern region. Along the border with the province of Belluno , there are mountainous areas with peaks reaching over
198-560: A thousand meters. Mount Grappa and Col Visentin are the highest peaks. Montello , an isolated hill on the right bank of the Piave River , is also noteworthy. The province is rich in water resources, with numerous springs (known as " fontanassi ") in the mid-low area. The Sile River , originating in Casacorba, flows through Treviso's historic center. The main river is the Piave, characterized by
231-451: A wide gravel bed along most of its course. Other notable watercourses include the Livenza , Monticano, and Meschio, originating from the foothill area. The province is home to the headquarters of clothing retailer Benetton , Sisley, Stefanel, Geox , Diadora and Lotto Sport Italia , appliance maker De'Longhi , and bicycle maker Pinarello . There are 95 comuni ( sg. : comune ) in
264-760: The Terraferma territory of the Republic of Venice , suppressed 51 years earlier in the French Revolutionary Wars . After declaring independence from the Habsburg Austrian Empire , the republic later joined the Kingdom of Sardinia in an attempt, led by the latter, to unite northern Italy against foreign (mainly Austrian but also French) domination. But the First Italian War of Independence ended in
297-688: The Hungarian Revolution of 1848 , and other Revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas . So Radetzky was instructed to seek a truce, an order he ignored. While Austria was pressed on every front, the divided Italians allowed her time to regroup and to reconquer Venice and the other troubled areas of the empire one by one. Militarily, misreadings of the fluctuating political status in northern Italy—combined with Manin's indecision and ill-health, which confined him to bed at critical moments —led to several damaging poor judgements by Venice. The Austrian fleet

Austrian rule, after realising that mutually-agreeable home rule would not be possible, exploited Venetian resources, economically and politically, favouring Trieste as the imperial seaport. Within 50 years of their acquisition of the former republic, Austria had taken 45 million Austrian lire more from
363-519: The Kingdom of Sardinia . This lasted only a month, as on 9 August Charles Albert signed an armistice that restored the Piedmontese border at the river Ticino . At the same time, the Piedmontese navy abandoned its support of Venice. In early October, followers of Giuseppe Mazzini tried to organize a great republican demonstration, hoping to gain aid from the French Second Republic , convert

Two days previously, Daniele Manin entered the Venetian Arsenal with "a number of public-spirited Venetians", in a direct challenge to Austrian rule. As the Arsenalotti detested the Austrian overseers and the Italians in Austrian military service were pro-Venetian, Manin and his supporters moved about at will, unharmed. Believing that

Unfortunately, however, Manin did not have the leadership qualities that might have led to enduring independence, nor did Venice possess the military strength to defeat the Imperial Austrian Army . King Charles Albert of Sardinia had occupied Milan and other Austrian territories with his army. But despite popular support in the Papal States , Tuscany , and

Despite enthusiastic support for Sardinia by the revolutionaries (the Republic of San Marco and Giuseppe Mazzini 's Milanese volunteers), the Austrians started to regain ground. But the Austrian government was distracted by the Vienna Uprising ,

On 4 May 1849, Radetzky started his attack on the Venetian fort of Marghera , held by 2500 troops under the Neapolitan command of Girolamo Ulloa . Bombardment of the lagoon and city started at the same time and, over the next three weeks alone, 60 000 projectiles were dispatched towards Venice. The fort at Marghera held out until 26 May, when Ulloa ordered its evacuation; an offer of surrender from Radetzky
528-418: The Venetian assembly recessed for two weeks. The crushing defeat of Italian forces at the Battle of Novara (23 March 1849) sounded a death knell for Italian independence from the Austrians. To avoid an occupation of Piedmont, Charles Albert abdicated in favour of his son Victor Emmanuel II , whose treaty with Austria required the complete removal of the Sardinian navy from Venetian waters. Manin addressed

Here the grape is a permitted variety in the Denominazione di origine controllata wines of the Lison-Pramaggiore DOC and Piave DOC , often blended with Verduzzo Friulano in wines that are varietally labelled as just Verduzzo . It is also used in some vino da tavolas in the region where some Venetian wine producers are experimenting with blending
594-573: The city into a centre of Italian liberation, and inspire Garibaldi into an anti-Austrian crusade. But Manin, to avoid offending Charles Albert, suppressed them. A "federal congress" was to meet in Turin on 12 October 1848, and Prime Minister Vincenzo Gioberti of Piedmont invited Venice to send delegates, but the Venetians declined. The revolutionary authorities' reaction to Piedmont's declaration of war on Austria illustrated their failure to grasp realities —
627-584: The defeat of Sardinia, and Austrian forces reconquered the Republic of San Marco on 28 August 1849 following a long siege. After existing as an independent maritime republic for 1,101 years and a leading naval power in the Mediterranean for most of that time, the Republic of Venice surrendered to Napoleon during the French Revolutionary Wars in 1797 and was ceded to the Austrian Empire (as

Over the years Verduzzo Trevigiano has been known under a variety of synonyms, many of which overlap with Verduzzo Friulano, including: Verduz, Verduza, Verduzo, Verduzz, Verduzzo, Verduzzo di Motta and Verduzzo Verde. Province of Treviso The province of Treviso ( Italian : provincia di Treviso ) is
693-594: The infant republics. But when Austrians under Nugent marched on Verona , and General Durando led a Piedmontese force to defend, Venice could only supply a few volunteers, later joined by Colonel Ferrari 's Papal regulars. This was of no avail, as Nugent's force met up with Radetzky's forces and took Verona easily. Meanwhile, Manin retreated from his republican fervor, for fear of offending Charles Albert; this move was, however, both transparent and ineffectual. He also relied on reinforcement by Piedmontese and Papal troops, not understanding that Piedmont would not welcome

Manin's leadership was supported by the middle classes , revealing a permanent change in power from the mercantile patricians of the old republic, and his support of the lower classes, combined with promises of law and order to
759-447: The lagoon-based republic effectively. While revolutionary reform generated some popular support for the new régime, the revolutionaries recruited few troops there. Mainlanders were mistrustful of Venetian power, probably as a result of old assumptions about the earlier Mariner Republic. This combined with destructive foraging and other damage, which might have been avoided had the revolutionaries recruited across terra ferma . While most of
792-491: The late 1300s, Treviso fell under the rule of the Republic of Venice and was divided into various regiments and feudal territories, yet it maintained its unity under the podestà of Treviso. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the region went through changes with the fall of Venice to France in 1797, then Austria , and back to France again. It was finally organized into departments, districts, and municipalities under French and Austrian rule. After several transitions,
825-405: The middle and upper classes still supported the fight for independence, the lower classes of terra ferma were largely indifferent. The Venetian and Lombard troops of Radetzky's army remained mostly loyal and actively fought for Austria. Mainland recruits could have combined with the 2,000 Papal guards and Neapolitan soldiers under General Pepe , who ignored orders to retreat in favor of supporting
858-543: The popular expulsion of the Austrian garrison in the city for five days in March 1848 . Shortly after, the news of revolt in Vienna reached Venice and lead the city to revolt against Austrian rule. A few days after the independence of Milan and Venice and their affiliation to the Kingdom of Sardinia , the Piedmontese army crossed into Lombardy on 24 March 1848, with the Austrian commander, Field Marshal Radetzky pulling back to

Based on the Venetian Lagoon , it extended into most of Venetia , or
924-616: The region than had been spent there and Venetian capitalism had been stifled by a reluctance on the part of the slow, bureaucratic Habsburg régime to grant credit to Venetian entrepreneurs. By the end of the 1840s, a collection of intellectuals, urban manufacturers, bankers, merchants and agrarian inhabitants of the terra ferma were clamouring for political change and greater economic opportunity, albeit only by non-violent means. Heavy-handed policing in response to an economic boycott of state monopolies in Austrian-held Milan led to
957-403: The territory was reorganized, and in 1816, it became the new province of Treviso within the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia with ten districts. At the top of the government stood the provincial delegation, supported by the provincial congregation, with advisory functions. This situation was interrupted by the interlude of 1848 when the Republic of San Marco was established: during that brief period,
990-528: The timing was favourable, Manin led his followers out of the compound with the cry Viva San Marco! (English: Long Live St. Mark! )—the motto of the defunct Republic of Venice. Venetians, if not Austrian officials, accepted this to mean restoration of the old republic. With the exception of Verona , garrisoned as part of the Quadrilatero, the cities of Venetia — in particular Belluno , Padua , Rovigo , Treviso , Udine and Vicenza —immediately sided with

By August, with famine and cholera sweeping the city, Manin proposed that the assembly vote for surrender, threatening to resign if the assembly voted to fight to the last. The assembly, however, agreed, and provided the president with authority to seek terms, which were agreed on 22 August.
