One of the last Roman unmade roads left in Veneto. It runs between Rosà and Bassano del Grappa, near Cartigliano in the protected area named "Parco rurale sovracomunale Civiltà delle Rogge". Cavinón indeed means approximately "large boundary path" in Venetian language and runs on the old Roman decumanus DD IX, which in turn probably stretched along a previous, ancient path.
