Valdastico is a northeastern Italian municipality ( comune ) with 1245 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019) in the province of Vicenza in Veneto .

geography

The municipality is located about 40 kilometers north-northwest of Vicenza on the Astico and borders directly on the Trentino . It is made up of the three fractions of San Pietro, Forni and Pedescala. The administrative center of the municipality is in the district of San Pietro.

The neighboring municipalities are Arsiero , Cogollo del Cengio , Lastebasse , Roana , Rotzo and Tonezza del Cimone in the province of Vicenza and Lusern in the province of Trento.

history

In 1404 Valdastico joined the Republic of Venice . In 1759 the bridge over the Astico was rebuilt in stone, but four years later it was washed away and replaced by a wooden structure. The steel bridge from 1889 was destroyed in the war of '15 -'18. After the uprising against Austria in 1848, the Veneto was annexed to Italy in 1866. Between 1878 and 1883 the road from Arsiero to Lastebasse was built. Between April 30 and May 2, 1945, the Pedescala faction was the scene of a retaliatory action by retreating German associations, which killed 82 civilians, including children.

Parish partnership

Valdastico has a partnership with the Brazilian Encantado in the state of Rio Grande do Sul .

traffic

The former Strada Statale 350 di Folgaria e di Val d'Astico (now a provincial road) runs through the municipality from Calliano to Schio . The Autostrada A31 is nicknamed "Valdastico". A further construction of the motorway ending in Piovene Rocchette through the municipality to Trento is planned.
