Udine, located in the heart of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, is the historical capital of Friuli. The city exhibits a strong Venetian influence, as it was part of the Republic of Venice from the 15th century until the late 18th century. The centerpiece of the old town is Piazza Libertà, often called the most beautiful Venetian-style square on the mainland, featuring the Loggia del Lionello and a Renaissance clock tower. Overlooking the city is Udine Castle, which was rebuilt following a major earthquake in 1511 and now houses several civic museums. Culturally, Udine is renowned for its association with the painter Giambattista Tiepolo, whose masterful frescoes are preserved in the Patriarchal Palace. The city serves as a hub for the Friulian language and culture and is famous for its spirited wine culture centered around traditional 'osterie'. Today, Udine is a modern industrial and commercial center with a respected university.
