Pieve del Grappa is a comune or municipality in the province of Treviso, Veneto region of Italy. It was formed on 30 January 2019 with the merger of the comunes of Crespano del Grappa and Paderno del Grappa.[2]
The municipality contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Crespano del Grappa, Fietta, Paderno del Grappa.
Pieve del Grappa borders the following municipalities in the province of Treviso: Asolo, Borso del Grappa, Castelcucco, Fonte, Possagno, and San Zenone degli Ezzelini. It also borders the municipalities of Seren del Grappa and Setteville in the province of Belluno, and Valbrenta in the province of Vicenza.
Located at the north-western end of the province, the municipality consists of two areas: to the north the mountainous area of the Grappa massif and to the south the foothills where the inhabited centers are located. The southern area is mostly flat, although it shows a certain slope with altitudes that gradually increase moving towards the Prealps. Especially in the stretch between Fietta and Paderno, it is characterized by the presence of modest hills (the so-called "motte").
The waterways are all streams that originate from the Grappa massif and, even when they enter the plain, remain embedded in depressions. The main one is the Lastego, a tributary of the Musone: it is born near Cima Grappa, descends through the valley of San Liberale and touches the three hamlets before entering the municipality of Fonte.
History

In Crespano, 78.3% joined the "yes" vote, although the turnout was very low (33.8%); Higher participation in Paderno (49.8%), although the merger convinced a lower percentage, 57.7%. Given the outcome of the consultation, Regional Law no. 2 of 24 January 2019 was issued Establishment of the new Municipality called "Pieve del Grappa" by merging the Municipalities of Crespano del Grappa and Paderno del Grappa of the province of Treviso, published on the BUR of the Veneto Region on 29 January 2019.[2]
