Pozzuolo del Friuli (Friulian: Puçui) is a comune (municipality) in the Regional decentralization entity of Udine in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northwest of Trieste and about 10 kilometres (6 mi) southwest of Udine.
During the Barbarian invasions of Italy, Pozzuolo, just like other Friulian villages, started concentrating around its church in order to better defend itself.
It was only till 921 A.D. that the name of Pozzuolo appeared on an official document, in particular due to the donation that the Berengario Emperor made to the town.
[3] One of the most significant historical events in Pozzuolo has been that of the Battle of Pozzuolo del Friuli which took place between 29 and 30 October 1917, following the Battle of Caporetto, where Austro-Hungarian troops reinforced by German divisions managed to break through the Italian front line, and rout the Italian Second Army.
The battle left hundreds of dead, and took place between the alleys of the town, afflicting also the civil population.
