Sernaglia della Battaglia is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Treviso in the Italian region Veneto, located about 50km (30miles) northwest of Venice and about 25km (16miles) northwest of Treviso.
Sernaglia della Battaglia borders the following municipalities: Farra di Soligo, Giavera del Montello, Moriago della Battaglia, Nervesa della Battaglia, Pieve di Soligo, Susegana, Volpago del Montello.
The origins of the municipality are ancient: in the hamlet of Falzé, an ancient port on the Piave and a centre of commercial interests, finds dating back to the Eneolithic and Paleovenetian periods have been found and there are traces of the Roman presence in the rest of the territory.
With the decline of the Serenissima Republic of Venice, under whose lordship it remained until 1797, it followed, like the whole Veneto, to the French occupation, then by the Austrian one and the annexation to the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
The sad living conditions of the population, aggravated by the two world wars, led to a massive exodus during the twentieth century, which gave those who remained the opportunity to receive remittances from fellow citizens abroad, essential for investing in businesses. Numerous private initiatives of small entrepreneurs were born that brought the country out of rural reality.[2]
Municipal library dedicated to Giocondo Pillonetto, inaugurated in 1992 by the writer Mario Rigoni Stern and the poet Andrea Zanzotto.[4]
The economy is based on agriculture and livestock. A number of small and medium-sized enterprises have given rise to the formation of industrial and craft areas, with the production of furniture taking precedence.
