History

Known simply as Valle until 1867, it was a castrum of the Romans, who also had a road built here to connect to the Via Claudia Augusta Altinate.

Titian, the painter, was born here around 1477.[3]

During the War of the League of Cambrai, in 1508, it was the seat of a battle of the Venetians and the Cadorines against the Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I.
