Taibon Agordino

Taibon Agordino is a comune (municipality) in the province of Belluno in the Italian region of Veneto, located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of Venice and about 25 kilometres (16 mi) northwest of Belluno.

It is common for younger generations to move out of the valley to a larger city for the purpose of building a career and subsequently return for retirement.

Taibon was once populated by homesteaders who were self-sufficient, making their own dairy products, sausage, and polenta as their source of carbohydrates.

Today's economy in Taibon is based on tourism in the Dolomite mountains and the Luxottica plant located in nearby Agordo.

This eyeglass fabrication facility employs 3,500 people, making glasses under brand names such as Costa Del Mar, Ray Ban, Persol, and Oakley.
