Contrasts define the Veneto, from the majestic Dolomites, Lake Garda (Italy's largest lake), the rolling Euganean Hills, to the incredible, ancient cities of Verona, Vienice, and Padua. Visitors enjoy the Veneto's many resorts, museums, and breathtaking scenery. Though the Veneto is today a thriving wine exporter, textile producer, and agricultural center, its history is laden with much wealth from agriculture, commerce and the spoils of war.
