A National Geographic Society war geography bulletin profiles Bassano, a 7,500 resident town on the Brenta river in northern Italy. The report notes Napoleon’s 1796 campaign near Bassano, its duchy history for Maret, and Bassano as an early infant city in Venetia with a medieval origin and later feudal ties.
Bassano, set at the foot of the Venetian Alps, rose as a center for majolica pottery and printing. The town’s medieval power centered on Ecelin family rulers and Kenzelini da Romano, a feared Ghibelline leader who controlled Bassano and extended to Veron, Vicenza, Padua and Treviso before his defeat by Pope Alexander IV. The era also features Enzio, Frederick II’s son, imprisoned in Bologna for life, and the famed Da Ponte painters who took Bassano’s name as a surname.
