Pordenone, Villa Carinzia Pordenone, Villa Carinzia The villa was built between 1882 and 1884 and is one of the most elegant residences in the city. Initially it was the home of Emilio Wepfer, one of the founders of the adjacent cotton mill. The building is composed of a main part, rectangular and arranged on two floors with ground floor and attic, and a secondary part, attached to the north-west to the main structure, with an irregular shape and consisting of three floors. The facades are regularly marked by pilasters, string courses and openings of different types: round arches on the ground floor and rectangular ones on the first and second floors. On the main facade there is also an inscription recalling the stay in the villa in 1884 of King Umberto I, during a visit to Pordenone. In 1920, when the Società Anonima Cotonificio Veneziano purchased the Amman cotton mill in Pordenone and Fiume Veneto, the Amman villa became the residence of the director. In 1966, following the great Noncello flood, the cotton mill greatly reduced its activity and shortly afterwards Villa Amman was abandoned. Following the 1976 earthquake the Carinthian Red Cross purchased the villa and then donated it, as a sign of solidarity, to the Province of Pordenone, which later took over also its relevance. Villa Amman from 1976 to 1998 was home to the Day Centre of the Company for Health Services n. 6 of Pordenone, later transferred to the close former home for employees. Between 1998 and 1999 it was the subject of a careful restoration, thanks to which the construction features were preserved and the interior spaces partly reworked. Today, after having taken the name of Villa Carinzia, it houses offices of the Provincial Administration of Pordenone and of the Inter-provincial Voluntary Service Centres of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

  • Introduction: Castles
    Introduction: Castles Between the 9th and 10th centuries, the new invasions that were threatening Europe, led the powerful feudal lords to build castles and fortresses on inaccessible heights, at the borders of their territories, along the main roads and ri- vers’ fords, or above narrow valleys or near bridges. The defense of property and of the rural populations from ma- rauding invaders, however, was not the only need during those times: the widespread banditry, the local guerrillas between towns and villages that were disputing territori- es and powers, and the general political crisis, that inve- sted the unguided Italian kingdom, have forced people to seek safety and security near the forts. Fortified villages, that could accommodate many families, were therefore built around castles. Those people were offered shelter in exchange of labor in the owner’s lands. Castles eventually were turned into fortified villages, with the lord’s residen- ce, the peasants homes and all the necessary to the community life. When the many threats gradually ceased, castles were built in less endangered places to bear witness to the authority of the local lords who wanted to brand the territory with their power, which was represented by the security offered by the fortress and garrisons. Over the centuries, the castles have combined several functions: territory’s fortress and garrison against invaders and internal uprisings ; warehouse to gather and protect the crops; the place where the feudal lord administered justice and where horsemen and troops lived. They were utilised, finally, as the lord’s and his family residence, apartments, which were gradually enriched, both to live with more ease, and to make a good impression with friends and distinguished guests who often stayed there.

  • EMIGRATION from FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA to VENEZUELA Francesco Fait
    EMIGRATION FROM FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA TO VENEZUELA Francesco Fait Compared to other trans-oceanic destinations, European emigration to Venezuela became an important phenomenon only after the Second World War. From the 1870s to the end of the Second World War, Italian emigration existed but was never considerable. There is evidence of Friulians taking part in such migration, but there is none of Giulians having done so. “You must know, Sir, that last year we had managed to save a little money in the hope of many ships coming to load coffee after the harvest; so we thought that for a small sum we would be able to return, if not to Italy at least to some part of Europe to get closer to home; and we had hardly collected 400 Lire and at the start of February we went to Caracas to the Consul to advise us, and so he could direct us and we told him of our situation, that we are brothers one in the Military and the other about to be enlisted, and that we are willing and wanting to go to Italy if we had sufficient means with our money and his help to reach our homeland, and fulfil our duties as citizens, and perhaps he would have had the means to get us on board a ship, through an agent or Captain known to him, that as well as our money we were willing to work on the ship; and he replied that he knew nothing of this situation. The only advice he could give us was that he knew of an Italian merchant ship in La Guayra which with 80 Lire would take us to Italy.” This passage is taken from a letter 1, exciting in its contents and interesting in its form, also for the methods it uses for the purposes of captatio benevolentiae , such as the use of capital letters and the emphasis it places on the writers’ desire to return to their 1 Gino and Alberto from Caporiacco, 1877 – 1880.

  • EMIGRATION to AUSTRALIA from FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA Francesco Fait
    EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA FROM FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA Francesco Fait Migration from Italy to Australia is characterized by a barely discernable start, at the end of the 19 th century, followed by an unremarkable flow in the next decades which suddenly changed, however, after the Second World War, becoming a real phenomenon, albeit not a mass one. This is the situation of the Italians in Australia, at different moments in time: just under four thousand in 1891; a little over eight thousand in 1921; twenty-six thousand seven hundred in 1933. (1) These numbers were the result of a growing tendency at the beginning of the 30s, due to the effects of the United States migration policy which culminated in a quota system. The numbers are rather low in absolute terms and are counterbalanced by the data recorded by the 1981 census, which established the Italian community at 603,241 individuals, equal to 4.1% of the Australian population, of which 282,784 were born in Italy and about 258,733 and 61,724 respectively second and third generation Italians. (2) Such a considerable increase in the number of Italians in Australia was the effect of the mass emigration which took place after the Second World War and that allowed the Australian population which had been born in Italy, which in 1947 amounted to thirty-three thousand six hundred individuals, to reach one hundred and twenty thousand and two hundred and twenty-eight thousand people, in 1954 and 1961 respectively. (3) The increase in the migrant flow sprung from the convergence of complementary needs: on the one hand those of Australia, which following the turnaround in migration policy that took place in 1947 (which partially derogated from the White Australian Policy, traditionally hostile towards non Anglo-Celtic immigration, often in a persecutory manner) opened its borders to workers from all European countries; on the other hand those of Italy, which in order to reduce the number of unemployed to avoid a growth in social tensions, literally built golden bridges for those willing to leave the country.

In Friuli Venezia Giulia, 11 municipalities of the Pordenone province are part of the district. The reputation of Alto Livenza’s furniture production has been largely responsible for is success both in Italy and abroad. Its main areas of specialization are in kitchen and office furniture (50% of its turnover). 80,5% of the district’s firms are furniture manufactures while 19,5% of its companies process wood. The district covers the medium price market segment for furniture. Alto Livenza’s competitive advantage is based on its traditional skills and craftsmanship and on a unique system of values that feeds into its industrial activities. b) History The development of enterprises located along the Livenza River began in the years after the Second World War.

  • International Learning Models Report for Friuli
    ESF CoNet PROJECT: INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MODELS REPORT FOR FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA A report prepared by the Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in collaboration with the ESF CoNet and the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. October 2009 1 ABSTRACT This report has been prepared as part of the ESF CoNet supported project: International Learning Models. A team of OECD and Italian experts visited Trieste in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region of Italy in April 2009 for a short study visit, to examine the integration of migrant workers and their families into the regional and local economies in the area. The study was undertaken as a peer review as part of a broader study investigating the design and effects of social policy funded through the European Union‟s Social Fund and the CoNET network. A full list of participants and the study timetable can be found in Annexes 1 and 2. This report is based significantly on the available statistics and on material gathered from the study visit. To this extent, the report is largely focused on the way in which systems deal with legal migrants – or the legalisation of arriving migrants – into the region. Both data on, and assessment of the experiences and needs of, illegal migrants are difficult to obtain and beyond the scope of this work. AUTHORS AND PROJECT TEAM The report was prepared by Andy Westwood, President of the OECD Forum on Social Innovation and Adviser to John Denham, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, and Mike Emmerich, Chief Executive of Manchester Commission for the New Economy and former advisor at No 10 Downing Street, with inputs from, and under the supervision of, Emma Clarence (Policy Analyst), Antonella Noya (Senior Policy Analyst) and Stefano Barbieri (Head of the OECD LEED Trento Centre for Local Development, Trento, Italy).
