The current municipality of Travesio consists of two entities that were once separate and have different histories: Travesio and Toppo. The Travesio area is famous for the production of Montasio cheese, of excellent quality. On the industrial side, two sectors offer the greatest prospects: textile and cement factories. The antiquity of Travesio is evidenced by the presence of the parish church of San Pietro, one of the largest in the entire diocese of Concordia. Originally it extended its spiritual jurisdiction from the Tagliamento river to the Meduna river, from the mountains to the parish of San Giorgio della Richinvelda. It was the matrix of all the churches in the area, including that of Spilimbergo, which would only take over its spiritual legacy after many centuries.
