Tarvisio
Tarvisio belongs to “Comunita' Montana della Valle Canale e Canal del Ferro”. Its origin is Roman but previously it had been inhabited by the Taurisci – a Celtic population. From 1000 it had been the possession of “Capitolo di Bamberga” and from the 12th century it reached a significant commercial importance.
In 1456 it obtained the privilege to organize the annual fair. In the 15th century it suffered for Turkish invasions despite of the construction of a fortification system around the Parish Church.
From 1759 it became an Austrian possession and during Napoleon domination was the scene of bloody battles.
After World War I it was annexed to Italy becoming a border town. Then it had a very strong commercial impulse which still characterizes it.
