Stony grounds cultivated with
vineyards (for which the grafting
technique with -barbatelle-- vine
cuttings- is handed down and developed
from generation to generation, thus
making Rauscedo one of the most important
nurseries in Europe), stone moulded either into
sculptures (as in the stone altar by Pilacorte
-1497- in the church of San Nicoḷ at
San Giorgio, or in that by D. Casella -1531- in
the church of SS. Urbano and Sabina at
Pozzo, or on the St. George

and dragon relief
-16th cent.- above the side portal of the
church of San Giorgio) or used in architecture
(with the rural buildings counterbalancing
Villa Spilimbergo-Spanio at Domanins -15th-
18th centuries, with frescoes by G. Borsato and
G.B. Canal, 1808- and Villa Spilimbergo-
Attimis-Maniago at Cosa)- At San Giorgio

exception to the rule, not even the Crucifixion
frescoed by Gianfrancesco da Tolmezzo in the
church of San Leonardo at Provesano, with its
characters graphically engraved on plaster.

ample cycle dedicated to Christ's Passion, in which the

several scenes on the walls are inspired).
Mention must be made also of the altarpiece
by G. Narvesa (1595) in the church of
San Michele Arcangelo at Domanins, of
M. Grigoletti's paintings at Rauscedo and of
the early 20th-century mural painting in the
church of San Nicoḷ (14th cent.) illustrating
the vicissitudes of Beato Bertrando.

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
