Conegliano

Conegliano is a town and comune in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. It is part of the province of Treviso and lies on the plain south of the Montello and the Prosecco wine hills. The municipality has a population of around 34,000 residents.

With roots dating back to ancient times, Conegliano developed as a medieval market town and later became part of the Venetian Republic. Its historic center preserves medieval and Renaissance architecture, including a castle and several churches that line the central piazza.

Conegliano is closely associated with the Renaissance painter Cima da Conegliano, from whom the town takes its name. The artist’s legacy is reflected in local museums and cultural institutions that celebrate Veneto art.

In the economy, Conegliano is a center for wine production, especially Prosecco. The surrounding Prosecco Wine Hills, which include Conegliano, were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019, recognizing the landscape and viticulture traditions. Tourism and small- to medium-sized manufacturing also contribute to the local economy.

It is served by regional road and rail connections linking Treviso, Venice, and other Veneto cities.
