Ville di Lignano

ARCHITECTURE. CULTURE. IDENTITY. “Raggi e ArchiTetture – Ville di Lignano” is a non-profit cultural association based in Lignano Sabbiadoro (UD), founded by a group of owners of historic villas located in the Pineta, Riviera, and Sabbiadoro areas. We are dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and appreciation of Lignano’s modern 20th-century architecture — a unique heritage born from the vision of great architects such as Marcello D’Olivo, Gianni Avon, Aldo Bernardis, and Paolo Pascolo. With a multidisciplinary approach and a strong local focus, we operate through: Cultural and educational projects Public events, guided tours, and activities Publications and digital content Collaborations with public institutions, scholars, and professionals Our goal is to make this extraordinary architectural heritage accessible, recognizable, and widely shared, while encouraging a culture of informed, inclusive, and sustainable preservation. We aim to be a meeting point for local passion, cultural vision, and civic engagement — with an eye toward the future of Lignano’s urban identity and its surrounding territory.
