Historical and beautiful Italian village Polcenigo Pordenone | village life in Italy

A combination of natural, historical and artistic features has allowed Polcenigo to become one of the "Borghi più belli d'Italia" (most beautiful villages in Italy). Evidence of its long history can be seen in the medieval castle ruins, several noble 16th and 17th century buildings and several churches, including the church of the SS. Trinità, situated in the splendid setting home to the springs of the river Livenza.

The entire natural context abounds in water: not only the springs of the river Livenza but also the nearby Gorgazzo springs are of unquestionable charm with their crystal clear water that flows out from a Karst cave.

Polcenigo is home to the Museo dell'Arte Cucinaria (Museum of Culinary Art), which recalls generations of chefs who have emigrated all over the world.

The oldest local event is the Sagra dei sést i.e. the festival of baskets and, more generally, of wicker, rush and raffia, which is held on the first Sunday of September
