A "comune" is a governmental body in Italy roughly equivalent to our cities in the U.S.
I don't really know much about that area of Italy but here is a link to the official website for the city of Cavarzere:
http://www.comune.cavarzere.ve.it/
and another site about the city: http://www.cavarzere.it/
Sorry they are both in Italian. Here is a little info in English from answer.com:

It exists. "Comune" pronounced "coe moo nay" is a municipality or village (not as in a 3rd world country) or better yet... a city.
My father (and grandfather) was born in Spain and it was fun & interesting tracing back... If you go to Carvarzere (stress is on the "z") you should go to the church where he was baptized and find his baptismal certificate. You'll find a treasure trove of information on it such as who his godparents were, addresses, etc... |
