Historical Description

Pieve di Cadore is a town in the province of Belluno, Italy and the birthplace of Titian. The area at the confluence of the Piave and Boite rivers was already inhabited in prehistoric times. Together with the other settlements of Cadore, Pieve founded the Magnifica Communità di Cadore, which was established in 1338. The predominantly Ladin country was also guaranteed extensive autonomy under the Republic of Venice, to which it belonged from 1420 until the Napoleonic conquest in 1797. In 1808, Emperor Napoleon I elevated his foreign minister Jean-Baptiste Nompère de Champagny to Duke of Cadore. After the Congress of Vienna, Pieve di Cadore, like the whole of Veneto, was awarded to the Habsburg Monarchy as part of the newly founded Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, but fell to Italy during the Risorgimento with the Treaty of Prague (1866).
