Tiziano Vecellio (Titian), leading exponent of the Venetian school of painting, was born here in 1485 in a typical local farmhouse. Open to the public.

Pieve, meaning ‘parish’, in this case means chief town of the district. The Cadore, an undulating forest land of the upper Piave Valley at around 2,000 m, sweeps up to the jagged chains of Marmarole and Anteleo, more than half as high again.

Pieve lies in a wide saddle overlooking the riverine lake of Centro Cadore. Skating, ice-hockey and bob-sleighing are offered along with the usual high-altitude amusements and the area is ideal walking territory.

A branch of the Belluno railway has its terminus near the town and in summer there are long-distance road coach services to and from Venice, Milan, Trieste, Bologna, Innsbruck and Vienna.
