history

The Via Annia ran from Adria to Aquileia through today's municipality . The remains of a Roman bridge were recently found near Ponte Catena. Roman finds from local excavations are kept in the town hall and in the middle school. Around 836 the name Musile was first recorded for a settlement on the banks of the Piave. The oldest Christian church was probably dedicated to St. Donatus . Musile belonged to the diocese of Torcello , Croce was subordinate to the Patriarch of Aquileia . In 1260 the area of Treviso was added, the Patriarch of Aquileia was only able to assert his ownership claims again in 1291. In the 14th century, a large part of the territory belonged to the Venetian family Foscari , later the Malipiero .

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the regulatory measures of the Republic of Venice on the waterways led to an increasing swamping of the area, which could only be changed by the amelioration after the unification of Italy. Musile became a community in the Napoleonic era.

After the defeat of the Italian armies at Caporetto in World War I , Musile was on the battle line and was almost completely destroyed in June 1918. The reconstruction of today's town center took place in the 1920s. In 1919 the neo-Gothic parish church was built.
