The initiative is inspired by this year’s extraordinary recurrence of the 600th anniversary of the fall of the Patriarchate State of Friuli (Patrie dal Friȗl), a State entity legally founded in 1077 and terminated with the Venetian occupation of the major part of the Friuli’s territory on 19th July, 1420. This was the end of one of the world’s most ancient parliamentary democracies (Constitutiones Patriae Foriiulii – 1231), the second one after the English Magna Carta of 1215.
