Reana del Rojale

The town of Reana del Rojale, whose name derives from the presence in the territory of several irrigation ditches, has very ancient origins; evidence thereof is provided by the remains of a village dating back to about 9000 B.C., probably made up of palafittes.

In the Roman age the territory was crossed by the Via Julia, a road that linked the metropolis of Aquileia to Tricesimo and to Carnia; the town-planning structure and the numerous Roman finds found in the area underline the importance of Reana in that period.

The history of a territory is usually marked by the presence of a waterway. The historical events and the social and economic development of the "villas" and of the lands comprised among the courses of the streams Cormor, Torre and Malina are linked to the waters of the Torre, flowing into the natural gorge between Savorgnano and Zompitta, up to the plains of the Bassa Friulana area.

In Reana del Rojale you can visit the Museum of corn husk and of wicker and admire a large variety of objects made with corn husk: from the "classic" handbags and shopping bags, to footwear (women's shoes, sandals and pumps), to clothing (waistcoats are particularly representative), up to furniture and home accessories.
