Patron saint festival In 47 days
Feast of Saint Andrew
📅 Every year, on 30 November
On 30 November Sequals celebrates its patron Saint Andrew; the town is home to Villa Carnera, linked to the boxer Primo Carnera, who was born there.
From Sequals came Primo Carnera, the boxer who in the twentieth century was heavyweight champion of the world: he was born here in 1906 and died in 1967. The house where he lived is now a museum. The village sits on morainic hills, between the Meduna and Cosa torrents.
Two mosaic artists also came from Sequals, Giandomenico Facchina and Ciro Mora; the village lies in the district of Spilimbergo. In the churches of the comune there is plenty to look at: a portal and a font by Giovanni Antonio Pilacorte, altarpieces by Gasparo Narvesa, and at Lestans the great fresco cycle of Pomponio Amalteo. At Lestans there is also a sixteenth-century Venetian villa, rare in these parts.
