Piazza Municipio, Venzone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy


Venzone was almost entirely destroyed by the 1976 Friuli earthquake, killing 47 inhabitants. Clearing-up operations started immediately and, by resolution of a citizens committee, the historic town centre was rebuilt in its original style from numerous pieces of rubble in the next years. The reconstruction was finished in 1990. The remarkable success of this project can be gauged by the fact that Venzone was voted Italy's Most Beautiful Village in 2017.
