These were the words of the prefect of Udine, Massimo Marchesiello, during the press conference held on the morning of Wednesday 14 December in the Prefecture to present the day event “Udine. Gift of Christmas “, which will take place next Saturday 17 December at the cloister of the prefect’s office in Via Pracchiuso 16.

Starting in the morning, the program includes guided tours that will lead visitors to discover the ancient Borgo Pracchiuso, from the birthplace of Tina Modotti to the cloister of the seventeenth-century monastery, now the seat of the Prefecture.
The ANPS – National Association of the State Police – in collaboration with the motorcycle group of the “A… Manete” Association will open the afternoon program at 2 pm with a passage of “Santa Claus on a motorbike”, offering the little ones a magical Christmas time.
The event will culminate in a Christmas-themed musical show offered at 3 pm by the Choir of the Liceo Musicale “C. Percoto” and at 4.00 pm by the Fanfare of the “Julia” Alpine Brigade, who enthusiastically seized the initiative.

The whole town is invited to participate”.
