Casier is an Italian town of 11 403 inhabitants in the province of Treviso in the Veneto region. It is a scattered municipality as the town hall is not located in the homonymous center but in the nearby hamlet of Dosson.
It is located in the low Venetian plain along the course of the Sile river, adjacent to the provincial capital in a south-southeast direction. The finds identified in the Sile bed testify how civilization flourished in Casier since the first millennium BC. The river already represented an important commercial route along which goods such as bronze and iron artefacts (swords, daggers, helmets, scythes, fibulas) and pottery moved.
In a document of 710 the monastery of San Teonisto is mentioned, considered the oldest monastic complex in the Treviso area. The same document documents the milling activity along the Roggia canal, which continued uninterruptedly until the beginning of the twentieth century. Towards the year 1000 the town was the seat of the Casier family (in the de Caserio documents) who had a castle built there to control the traffic along the Sile.
Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, under the Serenissima, it was affected by the construction of some Venetian villas by Venetian patricians. Today's municipality was established on 1 January 1819 by the merger of the two hamlets of Casier and Dosson.
