:''This article is about the Italian city, for the World War I battle see Battle of Vittorio Veneto.''
'Vittorio Veneto' is a city situated in the Province of Treviso, in the region of Veneto, Italy, in the northeast of the Italian peninsula, between the Piave and the Livenza rivers.
The political fractions of Vittorio Veneto include:
Ceneda, Carpesica, Confin, Costa, Cozzulolo, Formeniga, Manzana, Maren, Meschio, S. Giacomo di Veglia, S.Andrea, Serravalle, Fadalto, Fais, Forcal, Nove, S. Lorenzo, Savassa, S.Floriano, S. Giustina.
The river Meschio passes down through the town from Serravalle through the district which bears its name.
The north of Vittorio Veneto is straddled by mountains including the majestic Mt. Pizzoc.
To the east is the state park and forest of Cansiglio; to the west, the hill country including Valdobbiadene where ''prosecco'' is made; and to the south is the commercial town of Conegliano.
The area was occupied in ancient times by Celts and Veneti.
During the first century B.C. Emperor Augustus established ''castrum cenetense'' in what is now the heart of Serravalle to defend the Venetian plain. The Via Claudia Augusta passed near the city.
The ancient pieve of Sant'Andrea in Bigonzo in the northeast of the city, on the southern end of Serravalle, attests to the presence of Christianity in the area by the 4th century.
Ceneda rose to importance after the destruction of Oderzo by the Lombards in 667 A.D. It became the seat of a Lombard county. In the heart of Ceneda, the Lombards constructed the ''castello di San Martino'' which still overlooks the city.
In 685, the Lombard duke Grumoaldo organized Ceneda into a diocese, assigning to it a large part of the territory that had been under the care of the suppressed diocese of Oderzo. St. Tiziano of Oderzo, whose relics miraculously found their way to Ceneda and are contained in the present cathedral, was named as patron of the diocese. (His feast day is celebrated by the citizens on January 16.) The see of ceneda remained a suffragan of the Patriarchate of Aquileia until Aquileia's dissolution. In 1818, it became a suffragan of Venice. In 1939, the diocese was renamed Vittorio Veneto.
In 951, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I invested the bishop of Ceneda with the title and prerogatives of count. The bishops would remain counts until 1768 when the privilege was revoked by the Venetian Republic.
The city was attacked by Treviso in the late 14th c. Much of what was stolen, including the relics of St. Tiziano, was restored after the intervention of the pope.
Ceneda became part of the Venetian Republic on December 19, 1389.
Serravalle, just to the north of Ceneda, owes its origin to the Romans. In 1174, it became a fief of the Da Camino family. It would know its greatest splendor under the Republic of Venice from 1337 to 1797.
The saintly patroness of Serravalle is St. Augusta, a sixth century virgin-martyr, who was killed by her Gothic father because of her conversion to Catholicism and charity to the poor. Her feast is celebrated on August 22, often with a pilgrimage on foot made to her mountain-top shrine.
On November 22, 1866, soon after the Veneto was annexed by the Kingdom of Italy, Ceneda and Serravalle were fused into one municipality. It was named ''Vittorio'' in honor of King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy.
In October 1918, Vittorio was the site of the last battle between Italy and Austria-Hungary during World War I. It led to the victory of Italy over the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Austrian-Italian Armistice of Villa Giusti) effective on 4 November 1918.
To recall this crucial victory, "Veneto" was attached to the city's name in 1923. Subsequently, many streets in other parts of Italy have been named ''Via Vittorio Veneto''.

As of 2004, over 95.5% of the 327,800 inhabitants of the diocese of Vittorio Veneto were baptized as Catholics.[[1]]
The diocese is home to a Marian shrine in Motta di Livenza, just east of Oderzo. The shrine is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of Jesus under the title of ''Madonna dei Miracoli'' (''Our Lady of the Miracles''). The seventy-nine year old farmer Giovanni Cigana, reported that on March 9, 1510 Mary appeared to him during his praying of the rosary, which he had devotedly done in the same spot every day for the past twenty years. He related that she had asked him and the inhabitants of the area to fast as an act of repentance for sin for at least three consecutive Saturdays, pray to God for mercy, and to build a basilica on the site so that people could come for prayer. The Marian apparition was subsequently investigated and proclaimed worthy of belief by pope Julius II.[[2]]
Every year, the Concorso Nazionale Corale "Trofei Città di Vittorio Veneto" takes place at Vittorio Veneto. The best choirs from all over Italy compete.
The city is also host to biennale violin competition.
Italian is spoken and taught in the schools. However, in daily conversation the local Venetian dialect, called ''Vittoriese,'' is preferred. ''Vittoriese'' shares features with the dialects of both Treviso and Belluno and, therefore, serves almost as an intemediary between the two.
Characteristics of ''Vittoriese'' distinguishing it from Venetian include the frequent dropping of final "o." When this occurs leaving a final "m," the "m" reduces to an "n." For example, Venetian "semo" (we are) become "sen."
The first person singular of verbs ends in "e." Thus, "mi magne" serves for Venetian "mi magno" (I eat). Overall, ''Vittoriese'' remains intelligible to speakers of other dialects of the Venetian language.
