Casarsa is
nowadays
renown as the place
where Pier Paolo
Pasolini lived his
youth and the poet's
birthplace has become a
centre of studies on the
artist. And it is right in the
places more closely linked
to Pasolini's memory,
namely the hamlet of
Versutta, that the oldest
artistic traces in the
municipality are to be found:
the small church of
Sant'Antonio Abate, simple
and austere as the statue of
the Saint himself- created by
Carlo da Carona (first half
of the
|
 |
16th cent.) towering
above the church entrance,
contains mid-14th-century
fresco fragments in the nave
and exquisite early-
Renaissance painting on the
apse vault (1420-1430 ca.),
in which the Evangelists
particularly stand out,
painted within frames and
reminiscent of a fairy-tale
late-Gothic dimension. Full
Renaissance unfolds on the
walls of the rural church of
San Floriano - on the
municipality border with
San Vito - with Stories of
San Floriano (1590) by
Cristoforo Diana- and at
Casarsa in the
|
|
church
dedicated to Santa Croce;
inside, frescoes by P.
Amalteo (1536) with
Episodes from the Passion
and Stories of the Cross are
found. This church was the
original location of the
Mourning of Christ removed
from the Cross that now
appears in the parish church,
the latter also boasting two
paintings by Jacopo
D'Andrea and wall paintings
by U. Martina in the apse
vault. 20th-century wall
painting- by T. Donadon-
and paintings by Amalteo
and Moretto (end of
16th cent.) coexist in the
neo-Gothic church of
San Giovanni Battista,
designed by D. Rupolo at
the end of the 1800s.

The whole central-eastern area of the
province is deeply marked by the
presence of waterways (which are
torrential streams at their sources
and acquire a more regular
flow further south),
first of all River
Tagliamento,
marking the eastern
border of the province,
whose fords have
determined the
distribution of towns
for centuries, hence the
impressive images of...go
