Excursion

Excursion to Aquileia and the Ancient Roman ruins on Wednesday, 29th afternoon, followed by prosciutto and wine buffet reception at Prosciuttificio Dall’Ava, San Daniele del Friuli. (Departure from the Congress site at 2.30 p.m.)
Aquileia (in Friuli-Venezia Giulia), one of the largest and wealthiest cities of the Early Roman Empire, was destroyed by Attila in the mid-5th century. Most of it still lies unexcavated beneath the fields, and as such it constitutes the greatest archaeological reserve of its kind. The patriarchal basilica, an outstanding building with an exceptional mosaic pavement, played a key role in the evangelization of a large region of central Europe.

The social dinner will be on Thursday 30th at the Astoria Hotel Italia at 8.00 p.m., piazza XX Settembre (map), in the center of Udine (maximum 10 min walk separates the Astoria Hotel Italia from all the other accommodations chosen by the ICFE 8 participants).
