In Treviso the foresight of the entrepreneur Remo Mosole has transformed a disused quarry site in The Bandie , a multipurpose center dedicated to sport and leisure
How do you transform a quarry into a tourist project, a place for mining activity in a nature suited to leisure. We Spreyton, near Treviso, in the early seventies where you dig mining to extract material for the construction of the A27 Venice-Treviso. The activity, of course, is changing the face of that area, but intuition brilliant convincing, in 1975, Remo Mosole, owner of Spa Mosole to invest by buying the site - now abandoned - and proceeding to its redevelopment into a reality as it is today appreciated The Bandie . With thirty years in advance, Mosole imagined already running a multi-purpose sports center that would make proud their fellow citizens and to attract the lovers of off-road cyclists, swimmers, practitioners of rowing, cross country athletes of the tireless and many other sports.
Thus began the restoration work of the quarry, which is done with a series of next steps.
Fantasy of Mosole then went over and brought the sparkling Treviso is also an entrepreneur to acquire the land which was on the western edge of the quarry in the area stood in a serious state of neglect, two buildings of great historical interest, the seventeenth-century Barchesse Ca 'Ballarin and 1981 will kick off their valuable recovery. The Barchesse, which are slightly raised the lake basin are connected to a wide road. The perimeter of the lake and the exterior of the buildings are illuminated.
An important intervention, therefore, to the band, which has earned the project the European prize Restoration Award in the category of National Heritage (biennial competition established by UEPG - Union Européenne des Producteurs de granulats) for the best action for recovery of abandoned quarries. Today
The band is not simply a large green wreath surrounding a beautiful lake, the intention of creating a multifunctional area has resulted in the construction of a swimming center with an adjacent gym (it has an Olympic pool discovered by 50mt eight-lane and three indoor pools), a hotel (with 33 rooms) with attached spa Thai, and the establishment of the company Bandie Events Ltd, leading annually Spresiano appointments of national and international interest.
Here were held in 2008 Absolute Swimming Championships (Athletes who have seen the likes of Federica Pellegrini, Alessia Filippi, Federico Colbertaldo, Luca Manin, Alexander Bremer ,..). Also here we could watch the World Cyclo-cross (50 thousand of which 20 thousand spectators from abroad). Then there are the National Juniors Cycling Meeting was attended by 3 thousand children-athletes and, in October 2009, again the World Cup Cyclocross 2009.
Mosole Remo's dream, born in 1934, visionary entrepreneur and tireless protagonist of important sporting events (in fact has recently been awarded the Golden Star for Sporting Merit) has thus fulfilled: The Lake Bandie has become the most striking example of how a workplace for the mining activity has been transformed over the years, in a natural area for leisure, welfare and sport, combining economic development with safeguarding the 'natural environment.
