L’ Astichello (in Veneto Astegheło ) is a river in the province of Vicenza, which flows mainly in the countries of Dueville and Cavazzale, a hamlet of Monticello Conte Otto, to flow into the Bacchiglione at Ponte Pusterla in the city of Vicenza.
In the past centuries, many aspects of Vicenza economic, artistic and cultural life have found their expression and synthesis in this river environment. In addition to being used as an important waterway, several factories arose along the banks of the river to enjoy the driving force of the water and many patrician villas were built.

Giacomo Zanella’s poetry [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
In 1878 the poet Giacomo Zanella, driven by the desire for careful solitude and peace to be able to forget, in contact with the much loved nature, the travails of the “dependence cuttlefish”, had a villa built in Cavazzale, on the banks of the Ostichello, And there he spent his last few years, going occasionally in the city to find friends.
In recent years he knew how to give the best of his spirit and art, because he knew how to simply transcribe the sensations that the minute things of nature awakened him and the sonnets, collected under the name of the Astichello , are undoubtedly among his best things.
It is a river of resurgence that was born physically from the union of numerous resurgence channels in Dueville, in Pilastroni. Its course begins north of Passo di Riva and Montecchio Precalcino to continue skirting the homonymous street, the motorway exit and reaching the Pilastroni locality. The roggette that come together, many of which were born from Risorgive, all come from the Duevillese territory, mainly from Vivaro.
The river then flowing along the border between Cavazzale and Poleggia arrives in Vicenza; Here the Park of the Estichello first crosses the San Bortolo hospital and then scroll through the Querini Park and pour its waters shortly after in the Bacchiglione river.
Its length is about 16 km.
