ORIGINS OF ODERZO

Between the river Piave and Livenza, bathed by the waters of the Monticano, the city of Oderzo rises, rich of history, of art, of agricultural and industrial commerce, chief town of a vast territory comprehending thirteen communes. Its geographical position, the facility to reach it, has favoured it in the past as in the present enriching the urbanistic fabric of it without injuring the way and the style of life of its citizens however: To know its history even shortly it is meaningful to notice its urbanistic structure : it is a cultural demand to understand the organization, of the location of its principal public and residential buildings. The word Oderzo (opiterginis are said its inhabitants)comes from the Venetian through the word Latin "Opitergium ", composed by " opi " (there -here) and " terg " (plaza - market ):meeting point of people, of exchange of commodities, and therefore cause of social and economic development. It is believed that Oderzo has been founded around three thousand years ago from the Venetians , deriving population from over the Danubio, devoted to the agriculture and the breeding of the horses. Come to contact with the Celtis, the Etruschis and the Greeks, Oderzo started slowly to orde1; to consolidate and grew also of importance, not only for the dowries of its people, but also for the shrewd accords with the Romans. These in fact they built in 148 before Christ the console road Postumia that connects the Liguria to Aquileia, important militar centre for the defense and outpost of the Romanic dominion . The opiterginis were finally involved in the struggles between Pompeo and Caesa1; but they knew how to preserve their extraneousness getting awarely nevertheless the concession of the Roman citizen, and therefore the elevation to " Municipium " admitted to the Papirians tribe . Oderzo had its great shine during the age of August ( I century after Christ), as document the numerous archaeological finds and some local expressive forms alive in the dialect of the people. The river harbou1; now proven by photo, connected the city to the Adriatic making it the only commercial intermediary between the hinterland and the coast populations: so it created wealth, comfort and prestige. Not always however the days pass happy: Oderzo also had its days of dark sadness and pain. Oderzo was devastated from the Quadis and from the Marcomannis ( 167 ds.c. ) and it was finally destroyed from the Longobardis (667 ds.c.) so that the population under the guide of s. Magno mended in lagoon where with other confederate exiles, it gave origin to Venice. In medieval age the ancient city, reborn slowly around to a towered castle, becomes alternatively feud some bishops of Belluno, of varied vassals and in 1389 it finally passes under the dominion of the Venice's Republic, the Serene one, following all the administrative circumstances actually of it to the dominion French and Austrian, this last finished in 1866 with the annexation to Italy. From this moment the history of the city is woven with the national and European history.

COLFRANCUI

Of notable interest is the tomb consisting in a small artificial hill or a relief that the researchers associate to ancient rests of before Christ epoch. In 1982 was found the skeleton of a horse in good state of maintenance and fragments of a decorated vase. The church of St.James, a great ancient one, was in an only aisle in origin but was widened and restored in 1926
