Historical information The county territory of Auronzo di Cadore fills the entire basin of the river Ansiei from Cima Cogna to Misurina. The state road SS 48 that reaches Auronzo was already famous during the Roman era. In fact from Pieve di Cadore, the road Claudia Augusta Altinate , ordered by the emperor Claudio ( 41-45 a.d.), took after a short deviation to Auronzo (from the Latin word "roncare"). Up until '800 the look of this town was very different, it was like a typical country village, only 10% of the homes were made of stone and all the other were made of wood. Nowadays it is still possible to see a few significant examples of the old village. The reconstruction of Auronzo started in 1859 and the first building to be remodeled was the neoclassic temple of San Lucano, designed by the architect Giuseppe Segusini; followed by the church of San Rocco. The remodeling of the other village churches: Santa Caterina, Madonna delle Grazie, and Regina Pacis are dated at 1772. During the reconstruction of Santa Giustina square(May 2000) an old Roman road was found. The village, according to the folklore, would have been conquered by the Huns around the 5th century a.d.; a terrible time remembered by the legendary name of the girlfriend of the barbarian Attila: Agonia. It is from this name which derives the name Cima Cogna. The name Auronzo, it is commonly believed, arrived from the Latin 'ad runcum' with reference to the first people to arrive were those who cut and cultivated the land.
