Description

It may have been almost destroyed by an earthquake in 1976, but tiny Venzone has been chosen as Italy‘s most beautiful village in the 2017 Il Borgo dei Borghi competition. In the wake of the disaster, which killed 47 people and almost destroyed Venzone’s historic centre, almost 10,000 stones from the demolished buildings were preserved, stored and catalogued.
Over a period of seven years, the buildings were rebuilt in its original style from the numerous pieces of rubble. The reconstruction was finished in 1990 and was overseen by the people of Venzone. Two thousand people live in the tiny hamlet, which is located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in the north-east of Italy.
