At the southern end of the square is the Loggia del Lionello from the 15th century in Venetian Gothic style; it used to serve as the municipal building in the past and still serves that purpose today

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.

A hike up the hill on the edge of the historic center brought me to the Castle Museums. Crowning the castle was a weather vane of a golden angel. The field beside the castle afforded a view of the Alps, hazy in the distance. The Museum of the Risorgimento, the 19th Century resurgence of Italian cultural and political identity, was well-done. Although the explanatory texts were only in Italian, it contained a lot of artifacts. I especially liked the propaganda posters and magazine covers from 1918. Despite its somewhat misleading name, the Museo de Arte Antica housed a good display of art from the 13th through the 18th Centuries, with most of its emphasis on the latter three. There were plenty of saints and rosy-cheeked angels. The Hall of the Comune (the large meeting room) included a Tiepolo ceiling and some handsome frescoes. Having accessed the castle by climbing up the steep hill from Maggio Park, I took the gentler colonnaded brick lane down to the Piazza della Libertà, where a school band was playing patriotic songs in the loggia. Udine was clearly more an authentic community than a tourist destination.

I attended the Udinese-SPAL game with the away fans, several of whom said that this is the best, or at least one of the best, stadiums in Italy. Very compact (you feel very near the pitch) yet with excellent views from all four stands. The stadium is extremely modern (rebuilt in 2016) and everything is impeccably organised (large car parks, refreshments, plenty of helpful stewards, etc.) including catering for away fans who have a separate car park. If coming from outside Udine, the stadium & it's convenient parking is near the motorway exit. I took the train and then a match day shuttle bus from the station to the ground.
