Discover Postioma: Roman Era and Festival Culture

Postioma reveals historical connections through its buildings, traces of landscape organization and a local festival tradition. The construction of the Chiesa di Postioma was commissioned in 1778 by Archpriest Domenico Maggion and completed in 1795. The church was built along the course of the ancient Via Postumia. Its completion in 1795 places it within a specific period, while the Via Postumia connects it to antiquity.

Roman Traces and Unusual Finds

Clearly visible traces of Roman centuriation have been preserved in the area around Postioma. This regular organization of the landscape exists alongside finds with an unusual historical character. When the tower in Postioma was discovered, carefully crafted fragments of glass ointment vessels dating from the 1st to the 2nd century AD were found.

Villa Tassoni and Palazzo Tassoni

Villa Tassoni in Postioma is associated with the Istituto Regionale per le Ville Venete, which protects it. You will also encounter the name Tassoni at Palazzo Tassoni, which G. Cagnin dates as early as the 14th century. Both buildings offer different perspectives on the architectural history of Postioma, without reducing the town to a single era.

The oldest frescoes on the south wall of Palazzo Tassoni also deserve attention. They are attributed to the school of Tomaso da Modena, which was active in the Treviso area around 1350. This connection between the building's age, wall paintings and the regional artistic context makes Palazzo Tassoni a specific point of reference for those interested in culture.

Festa di San Giorgio in April 2026

Another side of the town can be seen at the Festa di San Giorgio. In Postioma, the festival was scheduled to take place from April 17 to April 26, 2026. The program included a running competition; catering with food was also planned. The event therefore combines sporting activity with shared festival culture and a culinary element. The scheduled April date complements the historic buildings and landscape traces with a clearly time-limited occasion of festival culture in Postioma.

Historical Themes for Your Stay

The chronological references in Postioma range from the ointment vessels from the 1st century, through the school of Tomaso da Modena around 1350 and the dating of Palazzo Tassoni to the 14th century, to the construction of the church from 1778 to 1795. The Via Postumia and Roman centuriation supplement these dates with spatial references: here, the route of an ancient road; there, the organization of the area. The Festa di San Giorgio adds a date in 2026, with a running competition and planned catering.
