	Attimis First village (“villa”), belonging to the Castle of Attemes (owned by the Bishop of Salzburg), since 1106 Attimis was under the authority of the Patriarchate of Aquileia executed by the “Capitano di Tricesimo”. The town gained more freedom in 1300, when it became independent with an own constitution. It was annexed to the Republic of Venice only in 1645, giving a new impulse to the life of its institutions (“Comune”). In 1866 it was annexed to the Reign of Italy. During the World War II it was the centre of many German acts of retaliation against the partisans. http://www.comune.attimis.ud.it/



	Faedis The name Faedis comes from the Latin word “fagetum” meaning wood of beeches. The village is of old origins and was already mentioned around the year 1000. During the Roman times, Faedis was probably an important strategic point on the “Via Cividina” (Cividina route) which linked Gemona and Cividale. Its history is strictly connected to the Lords of Cucagna who lived in the Castle on the hill near the village: from this family came the Partistagno, the Valvasone and the Zucco who gained the name from the Castle they owned and that nowadays dominate the landscape and are reachable by foot along beautiful paths dipped in nature. Faedis is now a famous locality of wine production that offers as its best wine the Refosco, a red wine with fruits flavour. http://www.comune.faedis.ud.it/



	Maniago Maniago, an important centre for the production of knives, is mentioned for the first time in a 981 document. The most significant landmark is the late-Gothic Duomo of S. Mauro, with a beautiful rose-window, single nave with visible beams, paintings, two 17th century wooden altars and many other works. The former spinning-mill houses the Museum of Ironsmith's Art and Knives Production, as Maniago has a centuries-old tradition in the ironsmith's art and, in particular, the production of knives. www.comune.maniago.pn.it



	Martignacco It seems that Martignacco was inhabited since the Gallo-Celtic period. But it was during the Roman times that the village became of strategic importance since it was crossed by a road that connected the villages ruled by Aquileia. Old documents witness that in 1048 a man called Antonio of Martignacco gave a field in Rojuz-Ceresetto area to the Church of Santa Margherita. Moreover in 1454 the Venetian Doge Foscari gave to the inhabitants of Fagagna the privilege of “mero et misto imperio” on the territories comprising also Martignacco. www.comune.martignacco.ud.it



	Pradamano The name Pradamano comes from the Latin word “Praedia Manlii” that means Manlio's properties: probably in the Roman times Pradamano was a property of a noble man called Manlio. At the beginning of the 20th century six tombs, a floor and other remains were discovered and bear witness to the Roman origins of the village. In 1015 the Patriarch Giovanni III gave the feudal estate of Pradamano to the Church of S. Stefano in Aquileia. In 1323 the villages of Pradamano, Cussignacco and Terenzano were given to the family Savorgnan until 1797. In 1477 Pradamano was destroyed and set on fire by the Turks and in 1521 passed under Austrian domination. In 1866 Pradamano was annexed to the Reign of Italy. www.comune.pradamano.ud.it/



	Reana del Rojale The name of the village comes from the presence in the area of many small rivers. There are many interesting remains of a village: it was probably formed by pile dwelling and existed already 9000 years b.C. In the Roman times the area was crossed by Via Julia, the ancient road which linked Aquileia with Tricesimo and the Carnia's area: many and important Roman remains witness the value of Reana del Roiale in the Roman period. During the centuries Reana was subjected to the barbaric invasions, to the Turkish invasions and later was under the Republic of Venice's domination. In 1867 Reana became Municipality with all its nearby villages. www.comune.reanadelrojale.ud.it/



	Remanzacco The name of Remanzacco is of Celtic origins which mean that in ancient times the area was probably inhabited by Celtic population. It was for the first time mentioned in a document dated 1000. According to other documents, in 1321 Remanzacco became famous for a quarrel, which lasted 20 years, between its Municipality and some nobles of the area. In 1509 Remanzacco was the scene of battles between the Austrian Troops and the soldiers of the Republic of Venice. Some of the nearby villages became part of Remanzacco's government in 1811 after the Treaty of Campoformido (1797) while Cerneglons passed under Remanzacco's government only in 1818. www.comune.remanzacco.ud.it/



	Tricesimo Tricesimo was founded in 60 B.C. when Julius Caesar stopped here while he was going to Norico to conquest it. In the village of Borgobello he wanted a defensive fortress (“Castrum”) to be built. The name Tricesimo comes from “Tricesimum”, which means the stone which indicated the distance from Aquileia. As the area was strategically important the Patriarch Gregorio di Montelongo decided to build a castle which became since 1253 the home of the “Gastaldo” of the area. Until 1420 the Castle was under the Counts of Gorizia, the Patriarchs of Aquileia and the Counts Di Prampero. In 1948 the castle became a Sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary. www.comune.tricesimo.ud.it



	Trivignano Udinese Its name comes from “Triboniano”, probably the Roman soldier to whom this territory was assigned as a fee. Unfortunately, there aren't any finds to prove the Roman origins of the settlement. In 1306 Trivignano suffered for the raids of “Nicolò di Buttrio”, sent here by the Counts of Gorizia; its inhabitants were forced to ask for the Patriarchate intervention. In 1508, when the Republic of Venice conquered the County of Gorizia, also Trivignano was invaded by the Venetian troops. During Napoleon's domination, both Trivignano and Clauiano were crossed by the French. On 22nd July 1866, for a few hours Trivignano housed the Austrian “Joply” brigade while it was retreating. After the third Independence War it was annexed to the Reign of Italy. http://www.comune-trivignanoudinese.it/



	Udine The capital of Friuli with its friendly squares, Tiepolo masterpieces and traditional osterias Looking at Udine, Friuli's capital city, from the hills where the historic castle stands, to the north you see the red roofs of the city and beyond to the crests of the hills and mountains that protect it, whereas to the south, less than an hour's drive away, there is the Adriatic Sea. Imagine how it was in the 17th century, when Giambattista Tiepolo reached the height of his artistic maturity in this very city. His works can now be viewed in the Tiepolo Galleries (Palazzo Patriarcale), the cathedral and the church of the Purità. Fascinating Venetian piazzas and fine old palaces The series of old, brightly coloured, portico-lined piazzas between Piazza Libertà, “the most beautiful Venetian piazza on the mainland” and Piazza Matteotti (or Piazza delle Erbe) have all the atmosphere of an open-air sitting room, and are the very essence of the city. www.comune.udine.it/
