The province of Udine (Italian: Provincia di Udine , furlanisch Provincie di Udin , German  province of Weiden ) was an Italian province of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region from 1866 to April 22, 2018 . It had 529,381 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2017) in 134 municipalities on an area of ​​4,894 km². Their capital was Udine .

The province, which was the largest in the region, bordered Austria (province of Carinthia ) to the north, Slovenia and the province of Gorizia to the east, and the province of Pordenone and Veneto to the west . Numerous rivers that originate in the Alps and flow south into the Adriatic flow through the area of ​​the former province. The largest of them is the 178 km long Tagliamento , which forms the western border of the former province.

As in the case of the other three provinces of Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Gorizia, Pordenone and Trieste), which were also abolished as independent institutions, this former province also continues to exist as an administrative district of decentralized state administrations or as a statistical area.

history

Little is known about the history of Udine and its surroundings before it was occupied by the Patriarchs of Aquileia in 983. The Patriarchs of Aquileia did not reside in Udine until 1238, where they first lived in the city's castle and later in the archbishop's palace built there. In 1350, the Austrians intervened in the region, triggering party battles among its residents. In 1420 the area of Venice was annexed and Udine was placed under the rule of Tristano Savorgnan , the leader of a family who settled in this city. Many of his relatives had been executed by the Austrians for resisting them and for forming a coalition with the Venetians.

Under the rule of Venice and the Savorgnan family, Udine fell into disrepair because it received little support. But it remained under Venetian rule until Napoleon's French troops conquered the region around Udine in 1797. In 1814 the area came under the control of Austria, which its inhabitants did not appreciate. In 1848 they declared themselves independent from Austria, whereupon its troops shot at Udine and subjugated it again. In 1866 the city and all of Friuli came to Italy, which was in the process of unification. At that time the province of Udine was founded as an Italian administrative unit. During World War I Udine was the headquarters of the Italian Army High Command from 1915 to 1917, until the Austrians occupied the city in October 1917. In November 1918 she came back to Italy.
