Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, Italy

This is one of my dad's favourite place in the whole of Italy.  Dad told me that during WW2 soldiers would fight on either side of the river to gain possession of this bridge.  The small holes in the walls of the buildings are machine gun bullets that hit the walls during the battles.
It's also the home of grappa which I think is why dad likes it so much.

Which is what stands today.
