The roots of the territory
Where it all began: discover the stories, places and people who built Farra.
Farra di Soligo has its origins in distant times: findings dating back to the Bronze Age and Neolithic period attest to human presence thousands of years ago. The name itself, “Farra”, derives from the Lombards: a “fara” was a warrior family group that settled in the area.
During the Middle Ages, Farra was part of the Treviso March, a fief of the powerful Da Camino family and later of the Counts of Collalto, before entering the domain of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. On Col di San Gallo stood a medieval castle, now transformed into the Hermitage, while the Towers of Credazzo watched over the valley as a defensive outpost.
Over the centuries, the territory has experienced moments of turmoil: wars, land reclamation, resistance during the two World Wars – with Farra decorated with a medal for civil merit – until reaching a present where history, culture and nature coexist in a unique landscape.
A territory that speaks to the present
Walking through the villages, hills and paths of Farra di Soligo, every corner seems to tell a fragment of history. The rural architecture, stone walls, ancient connecting roads between the hamlets are visible traces of an identity built over the centuries. It is a silent but living heritage that continues to speak through traditions, festivals, and the cultivated landscape.
Collective memory is also preserved in small daily gestures: in caring for the vineyard, in the sound of bells, in the rhythm of the seasons. Discovering the roots of Farra also means understanding how this territory continues to evolve while remaining true to itself, in a constant dialogue between past and future.
