Fat Thursday
On 27 February 1511, "Fat Thursday", Antonio Savorgnan staged an Imperial attack against Udine, using the Cividalian soldiers led by his nephew Alvise da Porto, and calling on the people to defend the city. In the midst of the chaos caused by the failing attack, Savorgnan instigated the plunder of the Della Torre properties. Followed by a wave of lust for looting, a plunder of almost all Udinese nobility's palaces (except for the Savorgnan palace, the real headquarters of the revolt).
