St. Christopher
(mid-16th cent.) linked to
the existence of fords
according to the typical
iconography of the area. In
the small church of Bolzano,
is a fresco of the Holy
Trinity and Saints Rocco and
Sebastian (1511).

province is deeply marked by the

torrential streams at their sources
and acquire a more regular

first of all River
Tagliamento,
marking the eastern
border of the province,
whose fords have
determined the
distribution of towns
for centuries, hence the
