photo: Luca Laureati LIVING UDINE AND ITS EVENTS Students who come and study in Udine always have a great TOURIST experience and go away with a wealth of happy memories: they form life-long friendships and many stay on! Udine is a people-friendly city: it offers all the attractions of a bigger center – pubs, cafes, restaurants, wine bars, coffee shops, discos, INFORMATION theaters, cinemas, gyms and so on – but it retains its human dimension – it is safe and compact, so you can walk or cycle everywhere and at all times of the day and night. Moreover, music-lovers can supplement their university training at the _ local conservatory (www.conservatorio.udine.it). The city has a very rich and varied calendar of cultural events: from music concerts (rock, pop, rap, jazz, classical) to the internationally acclaimed Far East Cinema Festival in ApriI. And don’t miss the food and wine extravaganza that is Friuli DOC (September). Shops, art galleries, museums: Udine has it all! In order to spread the love for knowledge, during the first weekend of July the University organizes an annual Knowledge Festival. The event is aimed at promoting an exchange of scientific research, educational trends and new knowledges through meetings with internationally acclaimed philosophers, writers, journalists and scientists in the town squares and through didactic laboratories, technological installations and debates.

Cividale is hard to beat, with its Longobard treasures, but there’s also Villa Manin, near , where Napoleon stayed before signing the Treaty of (you can see his bed!), Palmanova, the starshaped fortified town, and the Roman remains at Aquileia. There’s the beautiful unspoilt countryside of the hills and valleys, where you an eat local food and drink local wine for next to nothing at the “frasche” or village “sagre”. If you want to venture further afield, (Trieste is only 70 kilometers away and Venice 140, and if you want to visit other Countries, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia are nearby and easily reached by public transport).

32_INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE SPORTS IN FRIULI If you like sport, come to Friuli! We have a vast range of sporting facilities to offer. Situated half-way between the mountains and the sea, the choice of sport is yours: in winter you can head north to the mountains, for skiing (all types, from Alpine to cross-country), snowboarding, sledding, skating and tobogganing. Or in summer you can hike, climb, swim in the Alpine lakes, cycle or mountain bike. If you prefer the sea, it's just a short ride (or cycle) away. You can go to Grado or Lignano, where you can swim, sail, kite surf, wind surf, canoe, do water aerobics or snorkeling (the Trieste coast is best for this), bodyboarding, jet ski, beach volleyball or simply laze on the beach, of course. And if you're a football fan, you have to go to tadio Friuli to watch Udinese!
