Geography
Annone Veneto is located in the Veneto-Friulian low plain, near the bank of the Livenza river and the borders of Venice, Treviso and Pordenone. The municipality extends over an area of 25.69 km², from a minimum altitude of 2 meters to a maximum of 11 meters above sea level. Although the town is small, its central position in the region makes it an important strategic point.
History
The name Annone derives from "ad nonum lapidem", which means the ninth milestone along the Via Postumia. Originally, the town was a rest stop for changing horses and mules, and then also became the location of military warehouses, grain and salted meat deposits. Its origins date back to the construction of the first Roman roads in the region: the Via Postumia and the Via Annia.
These first communication routes, wanted by Rome for almost exclusively military purposes, allowed for the growth of significant civil and commercial traffic. Annone Veneto was located at the center of an important road junction, which favored safe economic growth and an increase in settlements. The Roman centuriazione also allowed for intensive and rational development of agricultural crops and livestock.
However, after the barbarian invasions, Annone Veneto suffered a period of decline. The devastations of the barbarians with the Goths of King Alaric, the Huns of Attila, the Ostrogoths of Valdemiro and the Herules of Odoacer led to the end of Roman rule. Afterwards, the Goths of Theodoric the Great took the lands from the descendants of Roman settlers until 553, when the Byzantine army defeated the Goths, putting an end to their dominion.
What to do in Annone Veneto
The town is small, but has a lot to offer. One of the first things to see is the Church of San Giorgio Martire, built in 1700 and renovated in 1900.
