Lignano Sabbiadoro is a town and commune in the province of Udine, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of north-eastern Italy.
History
Lignano Sabbiadoro developed in the early 20th century from some hospitality resorts which originally were reachable only by sea. The first inhabitants came in 1931, after the draining of the nearby marshes, the first road with the nearby commune of Latisana being built in 1926.
The name Sabbiadoro ("Golden Sand") was added in 1935 for promotional reasons.
Lignano became an automonous commune in 1959.
