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.
