Caneva is the realm
of bikers, so
visitors should not be
surprised of seeing
bikers whizzing
everywhere. It may happen
to meet them on top of the
hill where the Church of
Santa Lucia rises among
the ruins of the medieval
castle and preserves both
frescoes (Virgin with Child
and San Bernardino;
SS. Bernardino and
Ludovico da Tolosa;
San Lorenzo by Pietro
Gorizio) and a Renaissance
tempera on wood
(Enthroned Virgin with
Child and Saints). At the
foot of the hill the eclectic
villa Pietranna, erected in
the early 1900s on a project
by D. Rupolo, and the
Church of San Tommaso
are worth a visit.
The latter
contains the fresco by G. De Min

with the Fall of
the Rebel Angels (1840) and
the triptych on wood by
Francesco da Milano
portraying San Rocco
between SS. Sebastiano and
Nicola da Bari (1512),
whose background shows
some clues conducive to the
painter's interest for
northern iconography.
The same clues are found in
his Virgin with Child among
Angels and Saints in the
Church of Santa Maria
Assunta at Fratta, while the
Massacre of the Innocents
in the Church of
San Marco at Steveną
reveals that a Venetian
model like Tintoretto may
be followed even through
engraving (in this case,
the early-1600s engraving
by M. Sadeler).
At Sarone the panoramic
walk to the top of
Col San Martino is
worthwhile.

The landscape surrounding
Pordenone is lively and varied,
changing from the ups and downs of
the Pedemontana hills and the green
area of Polcenigo to the expanse
of cultivated and clay-coloured fields
of the southern area.
The geographic, historical
and cultural
development of
the whole territory
