Longarone, Mountain commune in Province of Belluno, Italy
The town sits at 473 meters elevation along the Piave River, surrounded by steep mountain slopes in the northeastern region of Italy.
In 1963, Longarone experienced a catastrophic event when a landslide caused water to overflow the Vajont Dam, resulting in 1,917 casualties.
The contemporary church, designed by Giovanni Michelucci in 1975, stands as a central religious structure replacing the previous Santa Maria Assunta.
The municipality maintains strong industrial presence through numerous eyewear manufacturing facilities, including major producers Safilo and Marcolin.
Archaeological findings in Fortogna and Pirago revealed Roman artifacts, including a dedication plaque to the god Asclepius and various ancient items.
