Gosaldo

Gosaldo is a mountain municipality in the Province of Belluno in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The territory spans across alpine terrain and comprises several settlements connected by mountain roads.

Gosaldo developed over centuries as part of the Venetian Republic until 1797, when it came under Habsburg rule. This transition marked a significant shift in the territory's political history.

The community gathers each September 15 to honor the Virgin of Sorrows, the village's patron saint, through processions and services in the main church. These observances reflect how deeply faith shapes life in this mountain settlement.

The municipality is spread across mountainous terrain and accessed only by mountain roads, which vary in condition seasonally. Visitors should prepare for winding drives and pay attention to local weather conditions.

The municipality sits between the Belluno Dolomites National Park and the Trentino-Alto Adige region, positioning it as a natural meeting point of two distinct Alpine territories. This location places it at the intersection of different mountain landscapes and administrative boundaries.
