Origins of the name
The name Giavera is clearly linked to the stream of the same name. In turn, the hydronym would derive from the Latin glaber "smooth" or otherwise "world", in reference to the lands crossed or its waters.History
After the prehistoric settlements, as evidenced by various lithic finds and the remains of a human skeleton dating back 40,000 years ago in the Bus del Bo Pavei cave, the territory was inhabited first by the Euganeans and then by the Paleovenetians, before entering the Roman sphere of influence. In the Middle Ages it became a fief of the Collalto Counts around 990. Later, religious bodies, above all the Abbey and the Certosa, exercised influence over the whole of Montello. From the end of the fourteenth century. the Serenissima conquered the whole area: for centuries the oak woods were exploited by the Venetian Arsenal. In recent times, the Great War shocked the countries on the front: the battle of the Solstice was decisive for Italy, which raged for a long time in the Valle dei Morti, near SS.
