San Vito di Cadore, Belluno

[mdossi]

Any ideas on where I can find information about 1) what political entity was San Vito di Cadore a part of prior to the formation of Italy for, say, the last 600 years, 2) where can I find information on the Dogana Vecchia (old customs house) at the north end of town, especially when was it built and why, and 3) when was the avalanche from Antelao that demolished the two nearby towns, Taulen and Marceana.
