On the right side of Piazza Borsa opens Via Zorzetto, lapped by the waters of the western section of the branch of Cagnan that, starting from Bridge Pria was originally called Roggia, then Siletto Channel and the Channel Scorzerie. This name comes from the shops scorzeri (ie conciapelli), an ancient and important guild of artisans in this area should be numerous.
The sheep was in Treviso medieval and maybe even before, the animal most widely grown, not only for the food supply but also for the production of wool and for the use of leather (including the manufacture of parchment, also called pecora paper).
Precisely for this purpose, when in the second half of the fifteenth century were built houses decorated with frescoes, the road that runs under the arcades along the channel was restricted to allow room for an underlying built right on the water level. The Channel of Scorzerie go to get the red carpet at the Sile Onigo, built in iron in early 1900 and intended for transit pedestrian.
From here you can enjoy a wide unobstructed view of Sile, which was the border and the defense of the southern city until the twelfth century when, with urban sprawl, were incorporated the former Military District and the current Piazza Giustiniani. Cross the footbridge, which rises along Via Tomaso da Modena to Piazza Giustiniani (formerly called Target, because here Bombardieri of San Marco Venetian artillery is exercised in draft).
Continuing you come to Largo di Porta Altinia. La Porta, one of three access roads to the walls surrounding the city was restored after the damage of the bombing and is characterized by the diversity of the two sides. That faces the city seems an elegant house with large openings of both arches of windows, ingentilita frescoes on the walls disappeared hours (attributed to Pomponio Amalteo).
The facade to the outside has the appearance of a tower defense brick decorated with just a few stone frieze of Istria. Porta Altinia passed through all the traffic that united with Venice Treviso. The intense relationship between the Domain Capital City and the oldest loyalty passed through the arc of this port until May 1797, when the Napoleonic army travolse the sodalizioche had combined for more than four centuries the destiny of heroic and pompous Treviso and Venice.
Leaving Port Altinia cross the English Channel Polveriera and runs a small garden between the walls until dell'Altinia Tower, located on the angle bulwark of Southeast perimeter wall. On the sidelines is cashed one of the many stone lions d'Istria ingentiliscono that the architecture of walls, placed to remember the Venetian mayor who had undertaken to build the stretch of work.
