Geographical notes

Background

Some scholars identify the origin of the name of Raveo in the root of the Latin term rapum, that is turnip; another less fanciful explanation states that Raveo derives from the prelatin rava, that is landslide, landslide.

The history of Raveo is linked to that of Carnia: the territory was already inhabited in pre-Roman times, as demonstrated by the recent archaeological excavations on Mount Sorantri, which highlighted the existence of a Celtic village, which later became the seat in Roman times. , when Raveo was part of the X REGIO, of a highland settlement defended by a wall.

The first documented news dates back to 1234, a period in which the town is subject to the Pieve di Enemonzo. The plague that invaded the Friuli, between the end of the fourteenth century and the fifteenth century, caused a massacre in Raveo in 1360 which survived only 7 people who became the masters of the seven local stavoli with adjacent grassy area (it is known that Ariis, Bearz, Floride, Iaconis, Pecol, Stiefin and Valino). Later it was part of the Patriarchate of Aquileia until 1420, the year of its fall by the Venetians. The country remained so under Venice until 1797, when with the Treaty of Campoformido all of Friuli-Veneto was ceded to the Hapsburg Empire.

Returning to Italy in 1866, following the third war of independence, he was overwhelmed in 1917 by the rout of Caporetto, and many of its inhabitants had to leave their homes and take refuge to the right of the Piave to escape the Austro-Hungarian advance. During the Cossack occupation of the Second World War, Raveo was the seat of an important garrison, consisting of about 300 soldiers (keep in mind that the municipal population at the time was about 700 inhabitants), and they were Cossacks and Germans, in November of 1944 to clash with the partisans in one of the bloodiest battles for liberation that Carnia remembers; at the end of the battle, the partisans came out victorious, inflicting considerable losses on the enemy.

In 1976 the country, while not registering victims, was seriously damaged by the earthquake, but in the following years it faced the period of reconstruction with great fortitude, which gave the country the predominantly modern aspect it has today and letting it shine through. unfortunately only in some parts, what must have been the original layout of Raveo with its imposing stone houses and its hidden courtyards.
