Of Roman origin, after the Hungarian
invasions and devastations the
settlement was populated by Slavs, as
place names record: Glaunicco,
Gorizzo, Straccis. The large church of
Ognissanti at Camino was designed and built
in Neo-Romanesque style by Pietro Zanini in

1927. The interior, embellished with traditional
colourful frescoes by painter and restorer
Tiburzio Donadon (1933-1937), contains the
altar (1773, G. Periotti) and baptismal font
and portal (1507, Giovanni Antonio Pilacorte)
recovered from the old parish church.
Pilacorte's are also the statutes of the roadside
shrinecalled 'la Glisiute'. The oldest
religious building, however, is the Pieve of Rosa, on the Tagliamento banks, which was
already mentioned in13th-century documents:
inside it has an altarpiece by Pietro Petrei
(Trinity and souls in Purgatory) and by Lucilio

Candido (St. Anthony, 1676). Lovely vault
frescoes by Francesco Zamolo are found in
the church of S. Canciano at Gorizzo (1719),
while the churches of S. Andrea at Straccis
visiting respectively for the 16th-century
wooden statue of Virgin with Child carved by
Bartolomeo dall'Occhio and the altarpiece of
Virgin with Child and Saints (ca. 1532) by
Pomponio Amalteo. The small church
of S. Tommaso at Glaunicco shows a stone
triptych by Carlo da Carona (ca. 1530), and
the church of SS. Vito, Modesto and
Crescenzia at San Vidotto has a painting of
Virgin with Child and Saints by Giuseppe
Moretto (16th cent.). The municipality also
has several interesting civil buildings, among
which the Glaunicco mill mentioned
by Ippolito Nievo and Villa Colloredo Mels
Mainardi Bianchi at Gorizzo
(16th-17th cent.), with its two elongated
'barchesse', large lawn and century-old park
where poet Ermes di Colloredo live.

It is not certain that the name Udine is of
pre-Roman origin, as researchers support,
deriving from a word meaning 'mamma'
and then metaphorically 'hill'. The fact is,
however, that from the hill in the middle
of the city (which according to a
legend was formed with the earth
carried in Attila's soldiers'
