Quero is a town and comune in the province of Belluno, in the Veneto region of northern Italy.

History

Quero was founded perhaps by the Romans. It became feud of the counts of Collalto, and it was territory administered by a popular assembly. St. Girolamo Emiliani was converted in this city in 1511. The parish church was a national monument, destroyed in 1917 by the Germans. It has since been completely reconstructed.

Geography

The territory of Quero is extended along the right side of the lowest valley of the Piave River.
