Cordignano is a town and comune with 7.116[3] inhabitants in the province of Treviso, Veneto, Italy.

Morphology of the territory

Located on the border between Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (province of Pordenone), the municipality of Cordignano covers a considerable portion of the territory, altitude varying between 25 and 1,079 m above sea level, extending from the plateau to the plains below Cansiglio, to the north of road SS 13.

Element that strongly characterizes the region is the presence of Meschio River, which runs through the town, coming from Vittorio Veneto.

History

The first inhabited center of the territory of the municipality dates back to prehistoric times. It then traces of a fort (known as Castelat) dated between the fourteenth and tenth centuries BC, in the north, at the Alpine foothills of Belluno.

In Roman times the area continued to grow mainly in the agricultural field, forming an active farming community still witnessed in the Middle Ages. It was in this period that the center took on the name Corticionus (hence Cordignano).

In the thirteenth century it became the curia of Da Camino, then between the fifteenth and eighteenth century it was a fief of the Rangoni family of Modena, passing in the eighteenth century to the branch of the Mocenigo family in Venice with residence at San Stae[4].

In the twentieth century Cordignano should be remembered for the development of the craft industry, and then the industry, still thriving today, in part by changing the orientation of agricultural previous centuries and behaving even a redesign of the territory, with vast industrial zones and new infrastructure[5].
