Lignano Sabbiadoro (; fur, Lignan) is a town and comune within the province of Udine, in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of north-eastern Italy. It is one of the main summer resorts in northern Italy and on the Adriatic Sea coast. History Lignano Sabbiadoro developed in the early 20th century starting from some private hospitality resorts, which at the beginning could be reached only by sea.

Lignano Pineta
Lignano Pineta is a frazione of the city of Lignano Sabbiadoro, comune in the province of Udine, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of north-eastern Italy, one of the major summer resorts in northern Italy.

At the time the project was widely reported on in magazines, on the one hand for its originality and functionality, and on the other for scarring the landscape and destroying the pine forest. Spiral The innovative street plan, with its "main road" in a spiral shape, was designed by the architect Marcello D'Olivo. The coat of arms of the mother comune Lignano Sabbiadoro carries a green spiral in reminiscence of the streets of Lignano Pineta.
