Azzano Decimo, Italian comune
Azzano Decimo is a small town in Friuli Venezia Giulia set on flat land surrounded by green fields and forests. The townscape is marked by homes from different periods, several neogothic churches with valuable artworks inside, and small chapels throughout the area.
The settlement dates back to prehistoric times and grew in importance during the Roman period. Medieval fortifications built by the Patriarchs of Aquileia in the 1200s were later destroyed, after which the town primarily focused on farming and agriculture.
The name comes from an ancient landowning family and later included 'Decimo' to mark a distance from another town. The neogothic churches that dot the streets remain central gathering places where residents gather for worship and community events.
The town is accessible by car via the A28 highway from nearby cities, or by bus from Pordenone. Most sites can be explored on foot and there are small hotels and restaurants throughout for visitors.
The ancient settlement of Fagnigola is one of the largest neolithic sites in Northern Italy, showing that people have lived here for thousands of years. The wildlife reserve 'I Tre Scalini del Diavolo' with marshland and old trees offers visitors unexpected nature in the countryside.
