Setteville

The strategic location of Setteville led to its settlement in Roman times and influenced the subsequent history of the area. In 1377 the Venetians built the Castello di Quero [it] on the Piave, which remains a local landmark. In the 17th century, the area prospered from the development of the textile and paper industries.^[3] Both world wars profoundly impacted the area: the town of Quero was completely destroyed in 1917 in the First Battle of the Piave River,^[3] and the Nazis destroyed the hamlet of Schievenin in 1944 when carrying out reprisals against Italian partisans in Operation Piave [it].^[4]

In December 2000, the comuni of Quero, Vas and Segusino formed a municipal union, the Unione dei Comuni del Basso Feltrino – Sette Ville. Segusino withdrew from the union in September 2002, and Alano di Piave joined the union in October 2012.^[3] On 28 December 2013 Quero and Vas merged to form the new municipality of Quero Vas.^[5] The citizens of Alano di Piave and Quero voted to merge the two comuni on 29–30 October 2023.^[6] The Regional Council of Veneto published the law effecting the merger on 29 December 2023, which went into effect on 22 January 2024.^[7]

In recent decades, the communities of Setteville have achieved a high level of economic development connected with the flourishing of new artisanal and industrial activities,^[3] although this is endangered by a persistent decline in population.^[8]

Regional highway 348 [it] runs north to south through the comune along the west bank of the Piave, connecting it to Feltre in the north, and to Montebelluna and Treviso in the south.
