Solagna is proud of its ancient origins: the territory was once inhabited by the Euganeans then by the Romans. Emperor Berengario I in the year 915 gave the Church of Santa Giustina and the Signoria di Solagna as a gift to Sibilicone, Bishop of Padua, and which included at that time the whole Valley to the right and left of the Brenta river. The town produced illustrious citizens such as Bartolomeo Ferracina, Engineer of the Serenissima; Domenico Zarpellon, the renowned scholar; Avv. Andrea Secco, geologist and Senator of the Kingdom of Italy.
Art and Culture
The most important monument is the Church of Santa Giustina which keeps the prestigious works of Da Ponte, a beautiful polychromatic wooden statue by Brustolon and an auteur table of an unknown artist representing the Madonna dell’Aiuto, venerated since the XVI Century. Embedded into the external walls is an ancient tomb stone which tradition attributes to Ezzelino the Monk.
In 1004 Saint Henry II King of Germany, passing through Solagna, ordered the construction of a sanctuary in honour of St. George on the tip of the Hill which is named after the Saint. The upper hills are touristic and historical zones which spread out for kilometres toward Mount Grappa and are always visited by tourists and nature lovers.
