Castelfranco VenetoProvince of Treviso, Veneto Region, Italy
The native town of Giorgione (c. 1477-1510), born Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco, whose life was described in Giorgio Vasari's Vite, one of the most important painters in the Renaissance. Only a very few paintings are known for certain to be his work, and at his sudden death from plague he probably left some works unfinished. Inside the walls the town is always the same as in the paintings by Giorgione, while the outer districts were transformed fastly in the Venetian style.
