This is in particular the Canale di Caerano, better known as Brentella (Template:Langx), a branch of the Brentella di Pederobba.
Caerano San Marco borders the following municipalities: Altivole, Cornuda, Maser, Montebelluna.
Recent history
In 1866 Caerano, like all the Veneto, adhered with a plebiscite to the king of Italy of Vittorio Emanuele II. Since then, the history of this town merges and merges with that of the whole nation, changing its name from Caerano to Caerano di San Marco in 1872 and obtaining full administrative autonomy in 1946. The Municipality of Caerano di San Marco was born, which in the second post-war period experienced its third and most important demographic increase, as well as a notable economic development, due to the rise in its territory of many companies and a large industrial complex specialized in articles of clothing, which gave the possibility of work to many thousands of workers and technicians.[1]
Monuments and places of interest
Church of San Marco Evangelista

Towards the end of the seventeenth century the construction of the church began, which was enlarged between 1906 and 1908 with chapels and dome. Its facade is attributed to Giordano Riccati from Castelfranco Veneto and has Doric columns bearing the entablature and the frontispiece. Inside you can admire the beautiful ceiling fresco "Assumption of the Virgin" by Giambattista Canal, the "Crucifix with the two Marys" by Francesco Pittoni and "The Assumption Madonna with St. John the Baptist and St. Antonio Abate" by Ambrogio Bon. To enrich this heritage there is a precious organ from 1746 by Pietro Nacchini. Outside, around the church, there is the churchyard, once a cemetery, enclosed by a fence since 1886, the rectory with stucco from the 18th century and the bell tower rebuilt in 1903.[2]
Villa Benzi Zecchini
In the sixteenth century a noble family decided to move to where Caerano di San Marco stands today, bought some land and built the complex now known as Villa Benzi Zecchini. Over the centuries there was a succession of owners of the villa until 1980, when the Municipality bought it. After a few years of complex restorations, the municipal administration decided to transform the villa into the cultural center of the Municipality of Caerano di San Marco and erect it as a foundation; at the same time the stables and granaries were converted into today's "Giuseppe Maffioli" theater. Today, the Villa Benzi Zecchini foundation deals with cultural activities, such as conventions, exhibitions, conferences, concerts and shows.
Economy
Agriculture produces wine grapes, cereals and fruit. The city is located on the "DOC wine road" of the Asolo hills and Montello. Caerano is the birthplace of companies like Diadora born in the 1948, as an artisan workshop for making mountain and work boots, today a world district of sports footwear. SanRemo confezioni was born in the early 1950s by the Comunello brothers, first producing shirts and trousers then the classic quality "outerwear". Already after a few years it employed about a thousand employees who will reach the peak of 5,600 in the plants of Caerano, Vedelago, Ponzano and Belluno. In 1988 SanRemo is acquired by the Inghirami Textile Company group.[3]
