Tisoi: a beautiful hamlet in Belluno

Hi everyone! Today I want to tell you about Tisoi, one of the hamlets in Belluno located to the north of the city, about 6 km from the center, on the right bank of the Piave river, at an altitude of 559 m above sea level.

History

The history of Tisoi is very ancient and dates back to at least 1430, when the autonomous suburban chaplaincy of San Severo di Ravenna and Tisoi was established, independent from that of Bolago and Sois-Antole. From that moment on, a chaplain went to Tisoi to celebrate Mass in the churches of San Severo, Santa Giustina and San Nicolò in Zei.
