History The origins of the municipality are ancient: in the hamlet of Falzé, an ancient port on the Piave and a centre of commercial interests, finds dating back to the Eneolithic and Paleovenetian periods have been found and there are traces of the Roman presence in the rest of the territory.
With the decline of the Serenissima Republic of Venice, under whose lordship it remained until 1797, it followed, like the whole Veneto, to the French occupation, then by the Austrian one and the annexation to the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
The sad living conditions of the population, aggravated by the two world wars, led to a massive exodus during the twentieth century, which gave those who remained the opportunity to receive remittances from fellow citizens abroad, essential for investing in businesses. Numerous private initiatives of small entrepreneurs were born that brought the country out of rural reality.
