history

Tolmezzo was owned by the Patriarchs of Aquileia from around AD 1000 . 1258 the congregation received by the Patriarch Gregorio da Montelongo the market rights for the whole of Carnia. In 1275, Patriarch Raimondo della Torre granted the parish town charter .

The district court of Tolmezzo, reaching as far as today's Austrian border, belonged to the Republic of Venice from 1420 until its end in 1796 . After the Napoleonic and Austrian times , Tolmezzo has been Italian since the state was founded in 1866.

Merchants and traveling traders from Tolmezzo and the valleys of Carnia maintained contacts far beyond the Alps and were out and about throughout the Danube region over the summer months .

There were family relationships with the greater Munich area as well as business relationships there. For example, on February 25, 1609, the letter logs of the Klosterhofmark Fürstenfeld (Fürstenfeldbruck near Munich) recorded a mortgage note in which a Daniel Phillip, son of Peter Philipp from “Paluz im Schönvelder Gricht, Venedißcher Herrßchaft” gave his “cousin” (= generally “ Relative ”), also Peter Philipp, Kramer in Markt Bruck (= Fürstenfeldbruck near Munich) issues a promissory note for the receipt of goods that that Brucker Kramer had delivered to him.
