حكاية Borgo Valbelluna
Birth of the municipality
On 16 December 2018 the residents of Mel, Trichiana and Lentiai were called to vote in a consultative referendum on merging the three municipalities: the yes vote prevailed everywhere, with percentages ranging from 59.67 percent in Trichiana to 76.35 percent in Mel. Borgo Valbelluna was thus officially created on 30 January 2019, a scattered municipality of about fourteen thousand people that unites three distinct historical identities while preserving each one's heritage and traditions.
Mel, one of Italy's most beautiful villages
Mel sits on a hill midway between Feltre and Belluno, on the left bank of the Piave, and since 2017 has been part of the club of Italy's Most Beautiful Villages. Its historic centre, a genuine Venetian-style living room, preserves a maze of cobbled streets and harmonious squares, along with noble sixteenth-century palaces bearing witness to the long rule of the Republic of Venice. The seventeenth-century Palazzo delle Contesse houses the Civic Archaeological Museum, displaying finds from the necropolis of the ancient Veneti, evidence of settlement in the area dating back to the Palaeolithic.
Trichiana and nature among the waters
Trichiana preserves a parish church built in the seventeenth century, erected between 1650 and 1789 on the site of an earlier church, which holds paintings of considerable value and a ceiling fresco by GioBatta Canal, nephew of the famous Canaletto. The area, however, is above all a destination for nature lovers: the Pranolz and Busnador wetlands, the river area around the Ponte di San Felice and the spectacular Brent de l'Art gorge, carved by the Ardo stream, offer striking landscapes not far from the Piave.
Lentiai between villas and rural traditions
Lentiai holds a number of historic villas, including Villa Cristini, Villa Zatta and Villa de Mozzi-Mione, and is home to a Civic Ethnographic Museum that gathers more than a thousand objects tied to traditional peasant life. Every spring, the panoramic plateau of Pian de Coltura is covered in blooming narcissus, drawing visitors from across the valley for a natural spectacle that has repeated for generations.
Getting there
Borgo Valbelluna lies along the road connecting Feltre to Belluno, following the course of the Piave, and is therefore easily reached from both cities, making it a good starting point for exploring the Belluno Dolomites away from the busier centres.
