A bit forgotten today, Udine belonged to the Republic of Venice for almost 400 years, and numerous monuments from that time bear traces of the overwhelming influence of the Republic's culture. The Piazza Liberta, rightly considered one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, made the greatest impression on me. Another attraction of Udine are the frescoes by the Venetian rococo master Giambattista Tiepolo, but I have to admit that I didn't like them that much.
