Friuli-Venezia
Giulia:
Sesto al Reghena
Sesto
al Reghena is a medieval
9th century village (wait until you see the
drawbridge in town). The town was part of an ancient abbey
(fortified). As the village grew beyond the walls, a bridge
— a drawbridge (complete with a moat) became part
of the landscape — as well as a moat…..right
in the center of the town! The Benedictine Abbey
here dates from the 8th century! The Chiesa
di Santa Maria in Sylvis has wonderful frescoes by
Antonio da Firenze (heaven and hell). This church is a
mix of styles. The tomb of Santa Anastasia is here
too. Do visit the Villa Freschi in Ramuscello
— fabulous!
