The town of Mogliano itself is cut in two by a busy highway called the terraglio which is the historical road linking Treviso and Mestre/Venice. It is also on the busy Udine - Venice train route and like Mestre serves as a domitory town for people working in the surrounding industrial areas.

Mogliano is well known for it Medieval festival which takes place september of every year as well as it christmas market which takes place from 1 - 10 December of every year with market stalls being set up in Piazza Pio X by cottage industries from as far away as Perugia.

The current mayor of Mogliano Veneto is Giovanni Azzolini.
