Piave River

The Piave River is a significant waterway in northeastern Italy, approximately 220 kilometers long. It originates from the Alps, high in the Dolomites, and flows southeast into the Adriatic Sea. Historically, it has served as a vital transportation route and a natural boundary. During World War I, the river was a key site in battles between Italy and Austria-Hungary, symbolizing Italian resilience. Today, the Piave is important for irrigation, hydroelectric power, and supporting local ecosystems, while also offering scenic landscapes and outdoor recreation opportunities along its course.
