History
The
During the
The first documentation referencing Pederobba (and including Onigo, and Covolo) dates to the early Middle Ages,[5] with reference in 1000 to establishment of the Church of Pederobba, and Pederobba as the seat for parish churches. In 1152, Pope Eugene II confirmed the parish of Plebem de Petrarubea.[5] In 1283, the Municipality of Treviso split the area into 4 districts: (1) Pederobba and (2) Visna di Pederobba into the "Dom" district, and (3) Onigo and (4) Covolo into the "Oltrecagnan" district.[5]
The Republic of Venice (La Serenissima), 1337-1797, brought wealth to the region, and construction of mills and factories. Pederobba grew to become the site of one of the most important markets in the sixteenth century. In 1646, Venice sold the lands to the Onigo and Pisani families, who became feudal lords.[5] Pederobba was linked closely to the Onigo family, who resided in a castle near the homonymous hamlet. The thirteenth century struggles between the Onigo and Ezzelini did provide some upset to the region. The Onigo castle (Mura della Bastia) ruins remain today. With the demise of the Venetian empire in 1797, Veneto (including Pederobba) became vulnerable to the foreign forces of the French and Austrian rules who followed.
With each of the
The Lombardy–Venetian Kingdom prevailed from 1815 until the Austrian retreat in 1866, with the Unification of Italy. The Austrians took with them much of Pederobba's resources and wealth. The Unification also tore down feudal land systems, but this gave rise to subsistence farming to the new landowners. Resultingly, hunger and poverty prevailed, leading to the first great Italian diaspora. The Pederobbesi immigrants of this wave primarily emigrated to South and North America, and although many returned with wealth to provide for their families, many determined to remain and sent for their families to follow and relocate to these new worlds. Multiple Pederobba-specific surnames (cognome) flourish today in both North and South America.
The great World War,
Following the Second World War and post-war period (1945 onward), Pederobba grew to become a main artisan and industrial center in the Grappa foothills.
