The starting point for the history of the Museum is due to the activity of two very different persons: canon Giandomenico Bertoli (1676-1763) and Lepoldo Zuccolo (1761-1833), a painter from Udine. Bertoli collected finds that are still the core of the exhibition; his aim of popularization - according to his time's spirit - is reflected in his work "Le antichita di Aquileia", puglished in Venice in 1739. The seat of his exhibition was his own house, in via Patriarch Popo, and included a remarkable epigraphic collection; after his death and a series of vicissitudes it was bought by Count Antonio Cassis Faraone, who placed it in his "Palazzo" in Monastero, North-East of the centre of Aquileia. Lepoldo Zuccolo is the promoter of the first Public museum of Aquileia, in the ancient Baptistery and Church of the Pagan (both contiguous to the Basilica): it was founded in 1807 and called "Eugeniano" in honour of Eugene de Beauharnais, chief of the Central Government in Milan.

A well laid out museum tracing the development and changes in the area from pre Roman times onward. Well signed in both Italian and English. The glass and other trade goods were excellent. Well worth a visit.

This is a real hidden gem. A place that deserves a visit. It is the last villa that the last Venetian Doge built. Environmental sorroundings are green and simple, making you feel the beauty of simplicity. Culture and Nature meet there in Villa Manin.

The highlight here is the second floor room where the walls and ceiling are painted in their entirety by Tiepolo, using a variety of techniques to produce an almost overwhelming visual impact. There is also an amazing library and rooms on the floor below with a whole range of interesting religious statues, paintings and icons. A great artistic and cultural experience.
