Udine, my love

Udine is the capital of the region of Friuli, between the Adriatic sea and the Alps , less than 40 km far from the Slovenian border. Founded in 983, after the decadence of Aquileia (one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire) and Forum Julii, Udine became important for commerce, and was for 4 centuries capital of the Patriarcato of Aquileia.
