The fascination of time
An unusual and curious itinerary to discover past methods of counting the hours. A guide can accompany you along the village streets to see the 100 sundials of Aiello.

The sundials, ancient clocks that marked time for our ancestors and still mark ours, "speak" silently and discreetly to modern man, reminding him with the gnomon's shadow to live every moment of his existence intensely.

A guide (only by booking) can accompany you along the village streets to see the 100 sundials of Aiello
Along the route you can admire many sundials, each different from the others and with its own characteristics, peculiarities and motto, and let yourself be enchanted and influenced by their light and shadow.

In the Courtyard of Sundials at the Museum of Rural Life of Imperial Friuli, you can see twenty sundials which mark the various ways man has counted the hours, from antiquity to the present day, to measure the passage of time.
