The Story to live Together
The mayor of Sauris wants to expand the Ethnographic Museum with photos and fossils of the famous Carnic Lagoon formed 250 million years ago, a geological peculiarity that characterizes the valley of Sauris in a truly unique way.
Renzo, an architect also an expert in geology, has been commissioned to coordinate the team of explorers who will have to complete the mission.

Hello, I’m Renzo, engineer-architect of Pordenone, expert in geology with a great passion for Sauris, where I live in a beautiful historic house. I can’t wait to introduce you to the geological evolution of the “Sauris Lagoon”, an incredible and unique story that began about 250 million years ago when these lands were in another part of the planet.
