Setteville

History

The strategic location of Setteville led to its settlement in Roman times and influenced the subsequent history of the area. In 1377 the Venetians built the on the Piave, which remains a local landmark. In the 17th century, the area prospered from the development of the textile and paper industries. Both world wars profoundly impacted the area: the town of Quero was completely destroyed in 1917 in the First Battle of the Piave River, In December 2000, the comuni of Quero, Vas and Segusino formed a municipal union, the Unione dei Comuni del Basso Feltrino – Sette Ville. Segusino withdrew from the union in September 2002, and Alano di Piave joined the union in October 2012. The citizens of Alano di Piave and Quero voted to merge the two comuni on 29–30 October 2023. The Regional Council of Veneto published the law effecting the merger on 29 December 2023, which went into effect on 22 January 2024.
