Vittorio Veneto

The city is made up of what were once two distinct municipalities, Cèneda and Serravalle. It is also the seat of the diocese of Vittorio Veneto.

The territory, the largest in the province, is characterized by the presence of hilly and mountainous reliefs, being close to the pre-Alps that separate it from Valbelluna and Alpago.

In addition to the center of Vittorio Veneto, divided between Ceneda and Serravalle, there are other neighborhoods and suburbs such as San Giacomo di Veglia, San Lorenzo, Costa and Salsa. There are also numerous hamlets and places scattered on the slopes of the mountains or in the Val Lapisina, that is, the valley that, entering the pre-Alps, connects the Marca Trevigiana with the province of Belluno through the Sella di Fadalto (it is crossed by the SS51 and A27).

Vittorio Veneto was born on September 27, 1866 with the union of the pre-existing municipalities of Ceneda and Serravalle. It took the name of "Vittorio" on November 22, 1866 in homage to Vittorio Emanuele II, first king of Italy.

The nickname "Veneto" was habitually used especially after the battle of 1918 and was made official, together with the conferment of the title of city, with RD July 22, 1923 n. 1765.
