Province of Belluno

The mountainous Belluno province extends across 3,610 square kilometers in the southeastern Alps, containing the Dolomites and numerous river valleys.

The territory became part of the Republic of Venice in 1404, serving as a center for timber transportation through the Piave River system.

The province includes three distinct linguistic regions where inhabitants speak Italian, Ladin, and German, reflecting the diverse mountain communities.

The province connects to neighboring regions through mountain passes like Giau and San Pellegrino, providing access to winter sports and hiking areas.

The Belluno province houses the headquarters of major eyewear manufacturing companies, making it a global center for optical industry production.
