Kje:
Cividale del Friuli
Čedad
Mesto se ponaša s srednjeveškimi umetninami in je nepogrešljiva destinacija v Furlaniji Julijski krajini ter štartna točka Unescove poti o zgodovini in zapuščini Langobardov.
Rich in late-medieval works of art, Cividale del Friuli is one of the must-see destinations in Friuli Venezia Giulia. It guards invaluable testimonies of its Lombard past and it represents the starting point of the UNESCO itinerary dedicated to the legacy that this mysterious population has passed on to Italy.
A visit to the city has to include the National Archaeological Museum, the Christian Museum and the Treasure of the Cathedral, the precious Lombard Temple and the mysterious Celtic Hypogeum, a site which was built in many different eras, even if its purpose still today remains unknown. Perhaps it was a burial site during the Celtic period, and maybe it was used as a prison in Roman and Lombard times. Maybe one day we may be able to gain a better understanding of this place but, for now, we can only admire it in silence.
But even without these treasures, Cividale is also definitely well worth a visit for other exhibits: the CIPS, dedicated to the puppets of Vittorio Podrecca from Cividale, Italy's greatest performer of puppetry, and the De Martiis Family Collection, an art gallery exhibiting a series of extraordinary artists of the 20th century.
For both children and adults, we recommend a tour of the Acrobati del Sole Park, an ornithological centre dedicated to birds of prey, where you can enjoy a very original show and visit the living environments of these animal species.
Mesto Čedad, ki je bogato z zgodnjesrednjeveškimi umetninami, je eno od nepogrešljivih destinacij v Furlaniji- Julijski krajini. Ohranja dragocene dokaze o svoji langobardski preteklosti in je izhodiščna točka Unescove poti I Longobardi in Italia, i luoghi del potere (568-774 po Kr.) (Langobardi v Italiji, kraji moči), posvečeni dediščini, ki jo je to skrivnostno ljudstvo zapustilo Italiji.
Med obiskom mesta obiščite Narodni arheološki muzej, Krščanski muzej in zaklad stolne cerkve, dragoceni langobardski tempelj in skrivnostni keltski hipogej, kraj, ki je doživel razne gradbene faze, vendar nam še vedno ni znano, katera je bila njegova funkcija. V keltskih časih je bil morda pokopališče, v rimskih in langobardskih časih je morda služil kot zapor, v prihodnosti pa bomo mogoče o njem lahko kaj razumeli, za zdaj pa ga lahko le v tišini občudujemo.
Toda tudi mimo teh zakladov je Čedad vreden ogleda zaradi drugih razstav: CIPS, posvečene lutkam čedajskega prebivalca Vittoria Podrecce, največjega italijanskega interpreta lutkovnega gledališča, in zbirke družine De Martiis, umetniške galerije, ki prikazuje vrsto izjemnih umetnikov 20. stoletja.
