the gateway to the Belluno Dolomites Park
(Belluno (BL) - Veneto)

This time our friend Massimo takes us to visit the city of Belluno.
It stands on a rocky spur, overlooking the Piave River, almost split in two by the Ardo torrent.
A city that deserves a careful visit for its history and valuable architectural monuments,
The territory of the province includes one of the most beautiful naturalistic areas: the National Park of the Belluno Dolomites

A bit of history:
The first settlements date back to the first half of 1000 BC.
The area was occupied by the Celts until the advent of Roman rule.
Relations with Rome were mainly commercial, as the area was rich in iron and copper ore.
When the Roman Empire declined, it was subject to various barbarian invasions: Visigoths, Vandals, Heruli, Huns and, finally, the Ostrogoths of Theodoric the Great.
It passed voluntarily under the rule of the Serenissima from the early 1400s until 1797, when it was ceded to the Austrians with the Treaty of Campoformio.
In 1866, together with the entire Veneto region, it became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
Given its strategic position, it was overwhelmed by the events of World War I and then World War II.
