Archduke Franz Ferdinand's Funeral Carriage

Through detailed archival research, the curators of the Civic Museums of Udine have reconstructed the provenance of the funeral carriage which has belonged to the Municipality of Udine since 1931 and is preserved in the storage of the Ethnographic Museum of Friuli. Most likely it is the same carriage that, on 2 July 1914, transported the body of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Habsburg during the historic homage that the city of Trieste paid to the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne in the turmoil that paved the way to the outbreak of the First World War after the Archduke's assassination in Sarajevo. The management of the Civic Museums of Udine hopes that the carriage can soon be restored with the contribution of some patrons.

The Hall of the Parliament of Friuli (Castle of Udine)

PARLIAMENT HALL The Parliament Hall (26 x 13 m) is the heart of Udine Castle. Representatives of the aristocracy, clergy and urban communities of the Patria del Friuli, the feudal state led by the Patriarch of Aquileia until the 1420 invasion by troops of the Venetian Republic, which dominated Udine and much of Friuli until 1797, met here periodically. The origins of the Parliament of Friuli date back to the first half of the 13th century. The assembly took place in various locations in the region and had a consultative function, which it maintained after the arrival of the Venetians. The Parliament continued to meet in Udine until 1805, when it was dissolved by Napoleon. To the power of the Parliament the Venetians countered both their direct and indirect military and political control (through the Lieutenants) and the Contadinanza, i.e. the assembly of representatives of the Friulian peasants, whose House stood between via Vittorio Veneto and via Rauscedo and was demolished and rebuilt in 1931 on Piazzale del Castello.

THE ADRIATIC, A SEA WITHOUT BORDERS

11^th October 2014 – 22^nd February 2015

The exhibition shows the cultural similarities in that macro-area in the 6000 BC – 4000 BC period.

Introduction to the exhibition

The Neolithic evolution in the East Adriatic: diffusion models, dates and materials.

Techniques and Instruments of the East Adriatic Neolithic early pottery: the “Impressed Pottery”.

The main diffusion routes of an important raw material: the obsidian.

The diffusion area of objects which might have had a ritual purpose show common cultural roots: that may be an essential feature of the coastal areas, much more easily marked by the continuous migrations of populations.
