Miane

Miane is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Treviso in the Italian region Veneto, located about 60 kilometres (37 miles) northwest of Venice and about 35 kilometres (22 miles) northwest of Treviso. As of 31 December 2022, it had a population of 3,123 and an area of 30.9 square kilometres (11.9 sq mi).

The municipality of Miane contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Combai, Campea, and Premaor. Miane borders the municipalities of Farra di Soligo, Follina, Valdobbiadene, and Borgo Valbelluna.

The territory of Miane is located in the northern area of the province, near the border with Belluno. The territory is therefore characterized by the presence of reliefs of various sizes, from the modest moraines of the central-southern area to the Belluno pre-Alps of the northern area, which here culminate with the 1,438 m above sea level of Mount Cimon. However, the reliefs alternate with valleys and plateaus on which the main inhabited centers have arisen.

It seems that in Miane, with the spread of Christianity, there was a place of worship to which the faithful from the surrounding areas referred, so that the town found itself representing a center of spiritual cohesion even before a commercial one or administrative.

The descent of the barbarians (4th century AD approximately) disturbed the order that the Romans had given to the area, but left the ecclesiastical division into parishes and chapels intact: hence the birth of the Parish of S Maria di Miane, which was below Treviso, and the chapels of Visnà, Vergoman, Combai, Campea and Premaor.

With the organization of the following years these chapels were called rules and each of them was placed under the government of a meriga, supported by two jurors; the parish church, however, became the center of the municipality.

Until the fall of the Serenissima this order remained unchanged; during the Napoleonic period first and then the Austrian one, Miane was governed by a municipal Deputation.

When Veneto was annexed to Italy, except for the twenty years of fascism during which it was held by a Podestà, Miane took on the same form of administration that it presents today.
