Bolzano Bellunese is an Italian village, hamlet (frazione) of Belluno, in the Veneto.
Geography
The village is located in north of Belluno, about 5 km from the centre, to the right of the Piave. It is a small town in the midst of the forest, of around 700 inhabitants. There is a sub-frazione, called Gioz. Both villages are found high on the right bank of the river Ardo, where the river passes through a deep valley.
History
Bolzano Bellunese is ancient in origin. The parish church dates back to the fourteenth century and is named for the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul.[2] It retains an important cycle of frescoes dedicated to Saint Peter, of uncertain origin. The road below the church leads to Rifugio 7º Alpini, on the slopes of Mount Schiara, considered a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
