History
Treschè Conca has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages, when there was a castle named "Conca". In the 14th century, the term "Treschè" began to be used to indicate the location, followed by the High German or Cimbrian language term "Kincel" or "Chinchel".
Over the years, the population of Treschè Conca grew and became an autonomous municipality in 1798, with the constitution of the parish of San Luigi Gonzaga. During the 20th century, the town experienced a strong demographic reduction due to the emigration of many inhabitants to foreign countries.
During World War I, the population of Treschè Conca was forced to leave their homes due to the "Punitive Expedition", the largest offensive against Italy. After the war, many residents returned to Treschè Conca, finding only rubble and devastation.
In 1945, during World War II, the town was the scene of the worst reprisal by German troops against the civilian population of the Altopiano di Asiago.
