 The Conegliano Synagogue - before WWII
At the beginning of the seventeenth century a Talmudic School (Yeshiva) was founded, which was to serve students both from the local community and from neighboring areas located outside the borders of the Republic of Venice.
In 1701, the Jews of Conegliano erected a new synagogue that was wider than the existing one: wall paneling was fitted and additional furnishings were commissioned.
The synagogue remained in sporadic use until the First World War when there was still a minyan of Jews in Conegliano; after the war only seven Jews remained and the synagogue closed its doors for ever.

 ItalianMade.com - WINES: Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOC
Conegliano's reputation as a land of excellent wines is cited in documents going back to the 10th century.
And, in 1606, a report sent by the Podestà of Conegliano to the Senate mentions the first international demand for the wines with buyers hurrying in from as far away as Germany and Poland and not hesitating to offer exorbitant bids to assure themselves of the finest output.
One of the elements that has guaranteed the Prosecco di Conegliano a constantly high level of quality throughout the present century has been the presence in its production area of the School of Viticulture and Enology of Conegliano, which was founded in 1876.

 Cima da Conegliano - Biography
He is first mentioned in the tax records of Conegliano in 1473, presumably upon attainment of the majority age of fourteen, suggesting that he was born around 1459.
He probably moved to Venice in the early or mid-1480s: a document of 1486 records payments to a "Magister Zambatista pictor," resident in Venice, for a standard for a scuola in Conegliano, while a document of 1492 definitely refers to Cima as resident in Venice.
Almost all of his mature works include idyllic landscape backgrounds that recall the countryside around Conegliano; Cima seems to have made a specialty of themes--such as Saint Jerome in the wilderness--that called for extensive landscape settings.

 Association for the regulation of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco wine
The exact origins of this variety are somewhat of a mystery, but some would have it that it was, in fact, already known as the ‘Pucino’ in the time of the Roman Empire.
The Verdiso is documented as having been present in the Conegliano zone as early as 1700; by the XIX century it was already widely grown with its production exceeding that of every other variety in the zone.
The inhabitants of the band of hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene have, in spite of the passage of time, managed to retain the best of their gastronomic traditions, so that we too can enjoy the aromas and tastes of a legacy of local specialities left by past generations.

The Bulgarian Football Union is expected to confirm a decision by its organising committee to expel PFC Conegliano Sofia from the Premier League after the club failed to fulfil their first two league matches this season.
Their opening fixture against PFC Levski Sofia on 5 August was not played because Conegliano did not register five players from their youth system in time, an error which saw their opponents awarded a 3-0 win and Conegliano incur a three-point penalty.
Conegliano won promotion to the Bulgarian élite as Conegliano German in June before having their licence acquired by PFC Chernomorets Burgas.

Nello scenario dei conflitti politico-amministrativi che coinvolgevano vescovi e nobili della Marca del XII secolo, Conegliano sorse all'ombra di un preesistente castello posto sulla sommità di un colle, dove ritrovamenti archeologici hanno attestato la presenza di un insediamento pre-romano.
Perduta sotto il controllo di Venezia la sua peculiarità militare, Conegliano punterà decisamente su commercio, manifatture e produzione di vino e olio: sarà così abbandonato il castello, che rischierà la totale demolizione nel XVIII secolo.

Finally, I have to put all this into context and remind you that none of us are wine experts: we just like wine - generally to drink with meals - and do not have the time or funds to explore the vast landscape available to todays wine drinkers.

The greatest of the admirers of Antonello da Messina was Giambattista Cima da Conegliano who maintained the poetic purity of his predecessor's language which was characterized by groups of figures restfully disposed, by the purity of his line, by the airy clarity of his light and by the Spring-like freshness of his colour.
Amongst the very finest works in all Cima's serenely poetic output was the 'Madonna of the Orange Tree', originally placed in the Church of Santa Chiara on Murano.
