Near Udine, around an hour by bus, is the village of San Daniele del Friuli. Known for its prosciutto, it is obviously a great stop for a lunch or aperitivo. We visited two prosciutterie in the town. One was a smaller operation, with a family business feel. We had wine and a platter at the attached restaurant, and toured the curing legs. The second was a much larger scale, run by a multinational company, with a small museum and a large outlet shop.

We went to the cathedral, where a crowd of the faithful had gathered, to follow the crucifix through the streets of Udine. Candles and flaming torches were handed out as we left the piazza. Every now and then the procession would stop for a reading or to sing a hymn.
