San Daniele del Friuli

San Daniele is nestled in the hills and is home to one of the most prestigious libraries in Italy as well as the oldest in Friuli Venezia Giulia: the Guarneriana Library, which preserves precious illuminated manuscripts. Also worth seeing are the beautiful white 18th-century cathedral and the frescoes in the former Church of Sant'Antonio Abate, which represent perhaps the finest Renaissance cycle in the region, so much so that San Daniele has earned the nickname "Friuli's little Siena."
