Physical geography
The territory of Farra di Soligo is surrounded by a series of hills, at the foot of which are the inhabited centers. The area is notably flat to the east, where it is bordered by the Soligo river. The hills, from east to west, form 5 valleys, giving rise to a unique panorama. The heroic viticulture that develops in these hills has been recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site for the challenge it represents in mechanizing activities due to the high slopes of the terrain.
History
The municipality of Farra di Soligo has roots that probably date back to the Lombard era. In the ninth century it was part of the Treviso Marca and in the tenth century it became part of the Diocese of Vittorio Veneto. In the thirteenth century it passed to the Da Camino family, who then ceded it to the Collalto counts, who in turn ceded it to Venice. The Da Camino of the Ceneda di Sotto branch tried until 1422 to oppose Venice in order to regain Farra.
Symbols
The municipality has its own coat of arms and flag, which represent the medieval fortifications present in the area. The black cross patent and scorched is a symbol of the Da Camino lordship.
Honours
The municipality received a bronze medal for civilian valor for the dignity and resistance shown during the fierce reprisals suffered by Nazi troops on September 1, 1944 in Farra di Soligo.
