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.
From 6 to 21 December 2025 the Casa della Confraternita (uphill towards Udine Castle) will host the exhibition Un ponte di colori (A Bridge of Colours), curated by Consolato Praticò, featuring works by artist Michele Praticò (1951-2022). Un ponte di colori exhibition curated by Consolato Praticò works by Michele Praticò Casa della Confraternita (Piazzale della Patria del Friuli, Udine) 6 - 21 December 2025 Free admission Opening hours: 10.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. 2.30 p.m. - 6 p.m. A Bridge of Colours is a contemporary art exhibition originated by the desire to create a dialogue between cultures, generations, and artistic sensibilities through the universal language of visual art. The initiative takes on a particularly poignant meaning as it pays tribute to the memory of artist Michele Praticò, three years after his death in Udine. The works on display explore themes of love, memory, and connection, transforming personal memories into a universal message of hope, dialogue, and rebirth.
