Il b&b san leonardo sorge in uno degli angoli più incantevoli di Treviso, nel cuore del centro storico della città. Direttamente sulle acque del Cagnan Grande, dalle ampie vetrate sarà facile scorgere i cavalletti dei pittori intenti a raffigurare la celebre Pescheria ed i suoi salici che dolcemente scendono sulle acque tranquille del fiume. La residenza, che deve il suo nome alla famosa Piazza San Leonardo su cui si affaccia, nasce sulle ceneri di un antico palazzo risalente al XIV secolo, di cui conserva ancora in parte i segni distintivi sulla facciata esterna. All’interno, gli interventi di restauro hanno portato alla luce splendidi affreschi che, con ogni probabilità, datano il palazzo già prima del tredicesimo secolo. Sul finire del 1800 la residenza fu scelta dal famoso pittore trevigiano Giovanni Apollonio (1879-1930) come casa-studio dell’artista e da allora, per la città di Treviso, diventò nota come “lo studio di Vicolo Spineda n. 4”. Qui il pittore trasse ispirazione e diede vita ad innumerevoli delle sue opere più celebri. Famose sono le tele che raffigurano la Pescheria, luogo molto amato dal pittore e sul quale affaccia il retro del palazzo, che Apollonio amava rappresentare con le luci e colori dei diversi momenti della giornata. Parzialmente distrutto dai bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale, il palazzo fu ricostruito una prima volta nel secondo dopoguerra, mentre l’ultimo recente restauro ne ha restituito alla città l’antico splendore. |
Located in one of the most wonderful corners in the town of Treviso, san seonardo B&B will welcome you with warmth and style.
Right on the Cagnan Grande River, you will be able to see thecanvases of painters representing the picturesque Pescheria and its weeping willows, softly leaning on the water of the river.
The residence, which dates back to century XIV, was renovated and owes its name to the San
Leonardo Square, where it is located. Historic signs are still visible on the exterior façade, and wonderful frescos have been brought to light in the interiors by recent renovations.
Towards the end of 1800, painter Giovanni Apollonio (1879-1930) lived and worked here which is
why the residence has since then been known in Treviso as the “Studio of 4 Vicolo Spineda”. It was here that the painter received inspiration for many of his renowned paintings/ great part of his
renowned work. Mostly famous are his canvases representing the Pescheria, a place the painter loved and enjoyable from the rear of the building. Apollonio liked to paint it in different lights and colors based on the time of day.
After being partially destroyed by bombing during the Second World War, the building was rebuilt right after and the latest renovation brought to light its intrinsic historical beauty.
