  Cividale del Friuli - LoveToKnow 1911
At Cividale were born Paulus Diaconus, the historian of the Lombards in the time of Charlemagne, and the actress Adelaide Ristori (1822-1906).
This last change of residence was the origin of the antagonism between Cividale and Udine, which was only terminated by their surrender to Venice in 1419 and 1420 respectively.

 Cividale and the Early Centres of Lombard Power in Italy - UNESCO World Heritage Centre
The Duchy of Friuli - and Cividale in particular - which always played a leading role in the power struggles and affairs of the Lombard kingdom, is an excellent vantage point, because the traces of Lombard presence are most evident here.
Cividale also boasts an exceptional wealth of information on the development of the funerary culture and customs of the Lombards, dating back as far as the time of their immigration, due to the study of the rich grave goods conserved in the National Archaeological Museum.
The presence of the Lombard people, of Scandinavian origin, is documented in Central Europe (Moravia, Bohemia, Lower Austria, Hungary and Slovenia), where the surviving artistic artefacts are limited to the sphere of jewellery, during the centuries prior to their migration to Italy.

  Il Saggiatore musicale - Rivista semestrale di musicologia · Abstracts 1994
New details are added on the formation and composition of the Cividale manuscripts, whose version of the liturgical drama can now be seen to derive from a common archetype, modified by local compilers.
The direct derivation and the path of individual offices is established: Padua (and the Veneto) for "Flete, fideles anime", for the office of the Annunciation and, perhaps, for the great planctus, which in fact recycles materials from earlier Marienklagen; the Germanic region of the patriarchate of Aquileia for the visitatio.
Finally, the author excludes that the manuscript was compiled in Cividale, and, on the basis of archeological and textual clues, makes the provisional hypothesis that it was assembled in or for Aquileia (or for a church strictly dependent on Aquileia).

The army of Bainsizza, San Gabriele, and Gorizia, who had no thought of giving way when the enemy offensive began in the last week of October, successfully resisted the attacks made on their positions, until the order came from Cadorna to retreat beyond the Tagliamento.
They carried out irreproachably the difficult retirement across the Isonzo gorge and out of the hills; but as they proceeded over the plain, hustled by the victorious enemy pouring down on their flank from Cividale, they were gradually infected by the sense that all was lost.
Mainly between Udine and the Tagliamento, they gave way at length to the war-weariness which had so long been at strife with their valour and patriotism, flung away their rifles wholesale, and passed round the word, "Andiasno a casa" ("We're going home").
