History

The territory was subjected to Treviso until 1178, after which it was occupied by the Ezzelini family until 1260, when it returned under the jurisdiction of Treviso. Constantly plagued by battles and depredations, around the middle of the 14th century it fell under Venetian domination: this put an end to feudalism and, while respecting the political power of the Serenissima, Valdobbiadene was divided into its fifteen rural communities, obtains a semblance of autonomy with the self-government of the Merighi, men democratically elected among the heads of the family. With the arrival of Napoleon and then, with the Austrian domination, the Regole disappeared and the Municipalities arose, first three, then two: Valdobbiadene, San Pietro di Barbozza and Bigolino, which survived only a few years.
