Places to see in ( Belluno - Italy )
Belluno, is a town and province in the Veneto region of northern Italy. Located about 100 kilometres north of Venice, Belluno is the capital of the province of Belluno and the most important city in the Eastern Dolomites region. With its roughly 36,000 inhabitants, it is the largest populated area of Valbelluna. It is one of the 15 municipalities of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park.
The ancient city of Belluno rises above a cliff spur near the confluence of the Torrente Ardo and the Piave River. To the north is the imposing Schiara range of the Dolomites, with the famous Gusela del Vescovà (Bishopric's needle), and Mounts Serva and Talvena rising above the city. To the south, the foothills of the Alps separate Belluno from the Venetian plain. Further to the south is the Nevegal, in the Castionese area, well known for its skiing resorts. The average annual temperature in Belluno is 9 °C (48 °F), and the average annual precipitation is 137 cm (54 in).
State roads lead from Belluno to Feltre, Treviso, Ponte nelle Alpi and Vittorio Veneto. Belluno railway station, at Piazzale della Stazione, forms part of the Calalzo–Padua railway. It was opened in 1912, and replaced an earlier station opened in 1886. Its passenger building, designed by the architect Roberto Narducci, was constructed in 1928. The bus station is also at the Piazzale della Stazione, next to the railway station.
The name of the city is derived from Celtic belo-dunum which means splendid hill. The name was inspired by the favorable position within the valley. It is conjectured that the population of the area that became Belluno was largely Venetic with a strong Celtic minority. However, as the Romans expanded northward into the Alps, the Celtic either emigrated or were absorbed. The people of the area swore friendship to Rome in the 225 BC conflict with the Gauls and again during the invasion by Hannibal in the Second Punic War.

Dolomites Mountains, Belluno (Italy) - Travel Guide
Take a tour of Dolomites Mountains in Belluno, Italy -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Italy is famous for its hilly wine-country and coastal views, as well as its beautiful mountain ranges.
The Dolomites, which are part of the Alps, are Italy's jewels.
The steep, grey slopes of these large mountains make them a very scenic backdrop to the Italian landscape.
The dolomite is a type of carbonate rock that gives this part of the mountain range its unique shape and pale hue.
They are considerable peaks, with well over a dozen mountains climbing over 10,000 feet high.
Because of their height and location, the Dolomites have become popular with skiers and snowboarders in the winter and hikers, cyclists, and paragliders in the summer months.
