The early inhabitants
Early signs of a settling, in the area that is today's historical town centre of Treviso, originate from around the end of the 2nd millennium B.C.
A mass of human bones has been found In Treviso, near St. Antonino, mixed with elk bones, containing also interesting bronze remains (rings, axes, etc.).
Due to these populations' habit of keeping the cemeteries nearby the village, it is likely that their village was inside a triangle bordered by the Cagnan and Sile rivers, more precisely on the natural bank of St. Andrea, later artificially heightened and turned into a fort.
This then would be the oldest part of Treviso, together with the site of the Cathedral, as proven by some crocks, surely from the Bronze Age, made of dark brown clay not properly kilned.
