Campoformido


Campoformido is a town and comune in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in north-eastern Italy, notable for the Treaty of Campo Formio.

History

Campoformido is a village not far from Udine. It is known for the 1797 Treaty of Campo Formio signed between Napoleonic France and Austria. The treaty enacted the dissolution of the Republic of Venice.
Today it is possible to make a visit to the house in which the treaty was signed. The house was property of Bertrando Del Torre, a merchant. Two inscriptions remember the history of the signature.
