History and origins
The territory of Sedico has been inhabited since remote times, as shown by the Castelliere di Noal, a fortified settlement dating to the Bronze and Iron Ages. In more recent times, the municipality developed as a union of several rural settlements scattered across the Valbelluna, including Bribano, home to a railway station on the Padua-Calalzo line, and Landris, with its historically and architecturally significant villas. Its position as a transit point, at the entrance to the road climbing the Cordevole valley toward the Agordino area, made Sedico an important crossing point since the Middle Ages, as confirmed by the ancient hospice of Candaten, a stop along the historic Via degli Ospizi.
What to see
In the hamlet of Bribano stands the Chiesa di San Nicolò, built in 1502, while the Chiesa di San Giorgio offers a wide view over the Valbelluna, the Pala Alta and the Monti del Sole. The municipal territory is rich in historic villas, including Villa Miari, Villa Bentivoglio, Villa Giacomini-Miari, Villa Crotta and Villa Zuppani, evidence of Sedico's role as a residential area for noble Belluno families. Villa De Manzoni houses the Museo del 7° Reggimento Alpini, which tells the story of the military corps most closely tied to the identity of the Dolomites.
Nature: the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi
Of the fifteen municipalities involved, Sedico holds the largest surface area within the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi: almost 5,800 hectares, or about 65 percent of its municipal territory. Established in 1990 and part of the UNESCO Dolomites World Heritage Site declared in 2009, the park offers numerous access points from Sedico toward the walls of the Schiara and the Monti del Sole, with hiking trails of varying difficulty. This is the town's real strength, making it an ideal base for exploring the Belluno Dolomites without straying far from the valley floor.
Local life and economy
Sedico's economy combines valley-floor agriculture, small industry and services linked to its proximity to Belluno, the provincial capital just minutes away. The presence of the national park has also encouraged the growth of accommodation geared toward hiking and nature tourism, although the town retains a more residential than touristic character compared with other Dolomite destinations.
How to get there and location
Sedico lies a few kilometres from Belluno, along the state road climbing the Cordevole valley toward the Agordino area, and is served by the Bribano railway station on the Padua-Calalzo line. Its position, between plain and mountain, makes it a convenient starting point for both the provincial capital and the more remote Dolomite valleys.
