"Today Orsago, situated in the Treviso Province, is an important agricultural, artisan and industrial centre. It spans an area of 10.68 squared kilometres and stands 44 metres above sea level.
The territory is split into three precise areas. In Northwest lies the Camparnei area (Campardo = dry land), an arid terrain of flat pebbly land, Centrally lies an area of waterways and in the Southeast lies
*an area of marshland named Palù.*
In past years it was this type of land formation that encouraged the expansion of large woodland areas, bogs and cane thickets. Today, the only reminder of these areas is to be found in the place-names of the municipality of Godega, such as Bosco (wood), Fagher (beech) and Salvatorondo (woodland rotunda)."

palude is really the term I know for the above, but perhaps it has something to do with it. A bit more context would always help to properly answer you. One word alone is a bit meager.....
