Campo Marzio is the starting point. Walk north taking via Due Rogge, at the end of which cross the provincial road carefully and take via Gianni Cecchin north. The turn right shortly afterwards and take via Ponte Quarello, after which  go straight on to via Canale (if visitors wish to take a shorter variant, once at Ponte Quarello follow the right-side bank of the Longhella torrent on the cycling lane/pedestrian path and connect with this route after the sports area to the south at the bridge that crosses via Boscaglie). From via Canale, known as the road of the Venetians for the villas that noble Venetians have built there (Villa Piva, Villa Mastai-Doni, Villa Venier), walk until near Villa Favero-Raselli, after which continue along the unpaved path to be walked until via Cobalchini. From here, near the capital, cross the provincial road with caution and go straight on to via Vanin. Walk along this street for a short stretch bending to the right near the first farmhouse on the way, following a typical unpaved country road (capezzagna) until via Boscaglie. A panoramic view of the gentle hills of San Benedetto opens up on the right: countryside and hilly background are the characteristic amenities of this route. Walk along via Boscaglie keeping right at number 57 and go down to Ca' Favero, a farm with riding stables where you have to leave the paved road and continue straight on a gravel road for about 200 meters until the sign indicating via Santa Rosa. Take this streetto the right and walk until the Oratory of Santa Rosa Da Lima, built in 1673 by the Matteazzi family of Marostica, and the small brolo (a small garden) that surrounds the traces of the ancient settlement. Follow via Santa Rosa on the asphalted track until via Levà: here turn left and continue straight on until the bridge over the Longhella stream. From here, continue straight on towards the south, taking via Ca' Boina which comes out on via Rizzi in the municipality of Nove. Turn left onto the provincial road and after about 100 m turn right into via A. De Gasperi, then turn sharply and continue on via Palazzon. Walk along this street for about 1 km until the capital dedicated to Santa Lucia which will be standing right in front of you. Turn left onto via Torresin (the turn is not very visible) - the road becomes unpaved - and follow it (go past the first turn right) until behind the millenary Church of San Vito (983 A.D.), which was restored to its ancient splendor by restoration works conducted in 1987. Access via Torresin and walk south from here for a short stretch until the massive 17th century architectural structure of Palazzo del Torresino (from the name of the Venetian physician-physicist who was the first of a long series of owners) with the annexed Church of Sant'Anna (1689). The surrounding countryside is still well-preserved and cultivated and farms are here based which process and directly sell the products of the land. At this point, a secondary route descends further south until the locality of San Gaetano, which represents the extreme edge of the variegated Marostica territory, going through a beautiful countryside cultivated with forage and orchards. The main route, on the other hand, goes back to Marostica along via Torresin, via Fosse and via Anconetta in a straight line to the north, again on an asphalted road that is low traffic at the weekends, although it partially crosses the artisan area in its northern part. At the end of via Anconetta, you come out on the provincial road, turn right on via Col. Scremin; at the roundabout take the second exit onto via Rubbi and continue straight. Then at another roundabout, take the second exit onto via Pizzamano and continue straight ahead along the town walls and then back to the starting point in Campo Marzio.
