In the Birthplace of Father David Maria Turoldo, built around the mid-18th century, you can find materials and artifacts related to the poetic, literary, and religious work of the friar.
The Birthplace of Father Maria Turoldo is a testimony of the typical rural architecture of the time in Friuli, located within a courtyard around which rustic and agricultural buildings are developed.
The porch, enriched with two entrance doors, leads to the living area composed of the kitchen (on the ground floor), two poor and narrow bedrooms (on the first floor), and the attic used as a warehouse, now used as a conference room and small library.
Linear windows let light filter into the dark interiors. The walls are made of pebbles from the Tagliamento river mixed with fragments of terracotta.
In the two rooms that belonged to the Turoldo family, you can also observe the original structure, preserved as such by the will of the Municipality of Sedegliano, which carried out the renovation work.
