places of Aiello del Friuli and Joannis. The
starting point is in Joannis, near the beautiful
St. Agnes’s Church. After a short stretch on
paved road, passing in front of some Austro-
Via dal Crist

Aiello del Friuli
Hungarian villas, you reach Villa Ines, and from
here a path winds through the countryside of
San Vito al Torre
by trees, to the point that it is called ‘the
Gallery’. The path leads to the beginning of the
Autostrada Serenissima
an old-time village where the water flowing
between the houses recalls one of the ancient
mills that once characterized the area.
Continue along the route until you reach the
road that connects Strassoldo with Joannis.
Cross the road and follow it for about 50

metres. Particular attention should be paid
when crossing the road due to intense traffic.
Next, take the country path, and after about
20 minutes you will reach an area called
‘groi’, a magical place, among springs and
cultivated fields, one of the few surviving peat
bogs of glacial origin that can still be visited

wayfarer when returning to Joannis. The main
road between Privano and Joannis is abreast
of the wonderful Medieval ‘Centa’, an ancient
defensive construction. Then, once you have
reached the footpath, you can safely return to
St. Agnes’s Church.
There is still time to visit many other
unforgettable places. Almost everywhere you
can see the sundials that have characterised
the area for decades. Most of the sundials
are found in the ‘courtyard of the sundials’,
within the ‘Museum of Peasant Civilization’,
which alone would deserve a trip to Aiello. The
churches present in this area are also worthy of
a visit. The most popular church is St. Ulderic’s
Church in Aiello, the destination of the first
stage of the important ‘Celestial Way’, a route
for wayfarers that leads thousands of pilgrims
from Aquileia to Mount Lussari every year. The
oldest church is St. Nicholas’s Church, near
Crauglio. Another interesting church to visit is
St. Dominic’s Church, unfortunately today in a
state of degradation. The church is located in
the endearing ‘Borgo dei Frati’, a friar hamlet
rich in history and culture.
