Sacile

Sacile is a town in Friuli-Venezia Giulia that spreads across two islands formed by the Livenza River. Along the waterways stand numerous buildings in Venetian style that shape the character of the old town.

The town received city rights in 1190 from the Patriarch of Aquileia, making it the first in Friuli to establish its own municipal statute. This event made it an early center of regional self-governance.

The craft traditions of this town reveal themselves through cobbled streets where small shops and local artisans maintain their work. Visitors can observe daily life shaped by traditional skills and local practices that remain visible in everyday activities.

The town sits on the Venice-Udine railway line, making it easy to reach from other Italian cities. Visitors can explore the area on foot since the two islands are compact and pedestrian-friendly.

The town is known for the production of high-quality pianos by the company Fazioli, which is based here. This craft has brought the town international recognition in musical instrument manufacturing.
