Patron saint festival In 303 days
Feast of Santa Maria Assunta
📅 Every year, on 15 August
On 15 August Moimacco, a municipality of 1,648 inhabitants in the province of Udine, celebrates its patroness Santa Maria Assunta (Assumption of Mary).
After the earthquake of 1976 many people from the Valcanale and the Slavia friulana came down to the plain, and at Moimacco a Slovene-speaking community grew up. How large it is, is not clear: a government estimate in 1983 said thirty per cent, and the geographer Milan Bufon judged that hardly credible; fifteen years later other scholars put it above twenty.
At Bottenicco stands villa de Claricini-Dornpacher, of the late seventeenth century, built on the model of the Venetian villas and today the seat of the foundation of that name. In the village there is also a picture gallery made of the paintings a local artist, Guido Tavagnacco, gave to the comune. The station on the Udine-Cividale line is a request stop: the train halts if somebody asks.
