Bassano del Grappa is a city and comune in the province of Vicenza, region Veneto, in northern Italy. The artist Jacopo Bassano was born, worked, and died in Bassano and took it as his surname. Bassano Del Grappa is also famous for inventing the spirit Grappa, traditionally an after-dinner drink made from pomace.
The city was founded in the 2nd century BC by a Roman called Bassianus, whence the name, as an agricultural estate. The first news of the existence of the medieval city dates from 998, while the Castle is mentioned first in 1150. In 1175 Bassano was conquered by Vicenza, but the city maintained a semi-autonomous status as a free commune in the 13th century also, when it was under the family of the Ezzelinos.
