Cycling sites in the Veneto
We may be traveling to the Veneto region of Italy in the future. What sites of interest to the vintage cyclist are you aware of in that region? Museums, shrines, factories or other sites of interest please.

Don't know how many can be visited, but the Veneto figures very prominently in cycling history and is one of Italy's two main centers of cycling production (the other is Milan). Campagnolo, Wilier (named, oddly enough, for the neighboring province, which wasn't even Italian at the time), Bottechia (who was killed in suspicious circumstances before he could make bikes), Pinarello, Torpado, ALAN, Pegoretti are a few of the cycling companies based there. And of course the province to the north (the Alto Adige) has any number of famous climbs used in the Giro (Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Mortirolo, Marmolada, Prodoi, ...)
