Sutrio, the village of wood
What is there to see in Sutrio?
In short
Sutrio is a village of about 1,200 people in Carnia, in the province of Udine (north-east Italy), at the foot of Monte Zoncolan. It's known as the village of the marangons, the carpenters: wood has been worked here for generations. At via Roma 60 you'll find the Presepe di Teno, a miniature nativity village that took Gaudenzio Straulino thirty years to build: Sutrio as it once was, with its houses, workshops and taverns. The whole village can be seen on foot.

MAGIA DEL LEGNO
Sutrio is also known as “Il pais dai marangons”, the village of carpenters. On the first Sunday of September, the town turns into a vast open-air workshop where artisans showcase their skills.
It's a day that takes you back in time to discover the traditions and crafts of our grandparents: wood carving and inlay, turning, sculpture. And not only woodwork: embroidery also finds its place here, an ancient art of the hands still lovingly passed down from mother to daughter.
Since 1990, La Magia del Legno (“The Magic of Wood”) has enlivened the streets and courtyards of Sutrio. For over 30 years, the entire community and local associations have been working together to share and pass on to new generations the roots of this land, roots deeply intertwined with wood, a material found in abundance thanks to the forests surrounding the village.
