When to go
Cavareno is wonderful in all seasons: in spring for its flowery meadows, in summer for its mild climate, in autumn to admire the colors of the forest in all its splendor and in winter for walking in the snow.
Background
Cavareno is mentioned for the first time as "Cauareno" in a document relating to the possessions of the monastery of the regular canons of San Michele all'Adige dating back to 1174.
The historical evidence relating to Cavareno is not very old. Another document in which the town is named dates back to 1200. More ancient archaeological remains are reduced.
A suggestive origin of the name "Cavareno" refers to a red limestone altar measuring 34 x 29 cm walled up inside the parish church of Romeno, near the small left side door. The exact location of the discovery is not known, nor the year in which it occurred. The inscription, first described by Roschmann in 1756, is as follows: D D Cavav C C p l l m, and thus is mostly interpreted: D (eo) D (omi) n (o) Cavav / i C (aius) C (ex / vo (to) p (osuit) l (aetus) l (ibens) m (erito). There have been many interpretations of the text. The historian of Fondo Vigilio Inama preferred the reading D (eo) D (omi) n (o) Cavavio. It would be a barbarian god, a Rhaetian or Gallic deity. For other authors the term Cavav would indicate the name of the client family. The assonance between Cavav and the name of the town of Cavareno has led some authors to believe that Cavareno is an ancient, pre-Roman town, dedicated to a deity or inhabited by a "Cavarina" people who named the village of origin. There is no evidence to confirm, but the Cavarenesi are not displeased with these hypotheses and, in 1928, when the municipal coat of arms was created, it was decided to use a Roman altar.
Among the first documents in which Cavareno is mentioned, the Charta della Regola is mentioned, which effectively sanctions the existence of a local Communitas or Universitas. The oldest copy of this document dates back to 1632.
Cavareno belonged to the Episcopal Principality of Trento and was a border area in the centuries-old disputes that opposed the latter to the counts of Tyrol for possession of the area.
Following the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye of 1919, the province of Trento passed to Italy.
In 1928 several municipalities of Alta Anaunia were suppressed; the territories of Ruffré, Ronzone, Sarnonico and Seio were assigned to the municipality of Cavareno. [5] In 1952 Ruffré, Ronzone and Sarnonico regained municipal autonomy. In 1964, after a specific referendum, the hamlet of Seio was detached from Cavareno to be assigned to the municipality of Sarnonico.
