Historical Museum of Western Friuli

Friuli, from the Natisone and Torre Valleys to the Tagliamento Museums and exhibitions

The Historical Museum of Western Friuli, housed in the building of the former elementary school in San Vito al Tagliamento, displays a private collection of numerous military finds, twentieth-century relics, uniforms, documents, films and historical photographs.

The exhibition, spread over thirteen rooms on two floors, retraces local history from the Garibaldian uprisings to the years after the Second World War.

On the ground floor, one entire room is dedicated to the events that affected the area during the Great War and another explores the Fascist period. Upstairs, one room is devoted to the Second World War and two preserve relics and finds relating to the Osoppo and Garibaldi Brigades.

The museum display is enriched by period satirical representations of European countries and by the possibility of watching historical films at the end of the visit.
