Doulo Travel Guide

Dolo (not Doulo). Little town between Padua and Venice, famouse for its Venetian houses and art. It's a boring town. But it's famous for its swimming pool (where I worked), for its Olympic athlets (Cercato, Galenda, Nalesso, Levorato), the "nutrie" (a big, very big mouse) and the High School Galilei, where lots of students are ready to participate to Mathematic Olympics. Our football team played in Serie B, when there still was fascism. This town was founded along Brenta river; Dolo's square is pretty beautiful, with its Duomo and its church-steeple. All around it, only supermarkets and boutiques. What else???? After Venetian carnival, in Dolo takes place the "Sfilata dei carri" (our carnival); in August inhabitants celebrate San Rocco with a "Sagra" (patronal party). When the sagra finishes, the little and laughing town dies. Guys like to go to other near towns (Mirano above all). So, if you want to enjoy yourself, please don't come to Dolo...choose Mirano, Padua, or somewhere in the world, but not Dolo!!!! Locals: only bar-gelateria Fragile. On 11th september there will be Ivana Spagna's concert, but our local administration didn't advertise this event (applauses). It's not a healthy town: we have one of the biggest and techologic hospitals in Italy, but Dolo is one of the most polluted cities in the Veneto.
