some of their own goods (cheese, eggs, bread, ham) for a period of eight 
days. The word comes from the Slovenian language, "osem" (eight). Check

*/GUIDED TOURS /*

*/Discovering the Fortress town of Palmanova /*

The fortress town of Palmanova, among the more important and better 
preserved examples of late Renaissance military architecture, was built 
by order of the Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia in 1593. A better 
understanding of the reasons that induced the Venetians to erect Palma 
and to choose the site can be obtained by going back to the policy and 
culture of the previous century, both in Friuli and in Venice, and by 
taking into account the situation in Europe in relation to aspects 
concerning diplomacy, military technique and strategy as well as 
philosophic culture and catholic doctrine after the Council of Trent.

/Tour every Saturday until 8 September, starting at 9:30 from the 
Tourist information Office - Borgo Udine 4. The guided tour lasts 
approx. 2 hours and the ticket costs Euro 4. For more Info: Tourist 
Information Office in Palmanova: 0432/924815./ /http://www.trenitalia.com/
