Lignano Pineta

Lignano Pineta is a fraction of the city of Lignano Sabbiadoro, a municipality in the province of Udine, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of north-eastern Italy, one of the main summer resorts in northern Italy.

The idea of developing a new city on this site was initiated by a group of local entrepreneurs. On June 5, 1953, the first tractor began to plow through the dunes of the local pine forest, marking the first streets of Lignano Pineta.
