history

The area belonged to the Lombard Duchy of Friuli in the early Middle Ages . The community was first mentioned in a document in 762. Shortly thereafter, the rule of the Lombards changed to the Franks , and Carnia belonged to the empire of Charlemagne . In the 10th century it was part of the Duchy of Bavaria . Under Emperor Henry IV , it became part of the Prince Patriarchate of Aquileia within the Roman-German Empire . When the Venetians in 1420 Friuli captured, even Ampezzo came to the Maritime Republic of Venice . With the Peace of Campo Formio in 1798 , Napoléon Bonaparte transferred control of Veneto to the House of Habsburg and thus to Austria. In the course of the Italian unification ( Risorgimento ) in 1866 Veneto (and thus also Carnia with Ampezzo) became part of Italy. During the First World War , Friuli and with it Ampezzo was occupied by Austrian troops in 1917/18, between the Battle of Karfreit and the Third Battle of the Piave . After Mussolini's fall in 1943 and the occupation of Italy by German troops, Ampezzo and the province of Udine became part of the Adriatic Coastal Operation Zone . Partisan resistance rose in the area . On September 26, 1944, the Zona Libera della Carnia e del Friuli was proclaimed in Ampezzo, an area controlled by partisans, which was able to assert itself for three months against German troops and Italian units of the fascist Social Republic of Italy .
