Piave River

River, northeastern Italy. Rising in the Carnic Alps south of Lienz near the Austrian frontier, it flows south and southeast into the Adriatic Sea, east of Venice. It is 137 mi (220 km) long. During World War I, its valley was the scene of several battles against the Austrians (see Battle of Caporetto). In 1966 the river burst its dikes in a major flood.
