Crocetta del Montello

Italy

Crocetta del Montello (or Croseta del Montel in the local Venetian dialect), formerly Crocetta Trevigiana, is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Treviso in the Italian region Veneto, located about 50km northwest of Venice and about 25km northwest of Treviso. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 5,807 and an area of 26.4km2. The town lies about 3km southwest of the Piave River, and borders the municipalities of Cornuda, Montebelluna, Moriago della Battaglia, Pederobba, Vidor, and Volpago del Montello. The present name literally means "Little Cross of the Little Hill", and refers to the Montello, an isolated hillock, 5 by 13km in size and 371m in elevation, that rises from the Piave's alluvial plain at the west edge of the town.
