The Municipality
of Castelnovo
is made of several
districts nestled
among the steep
hills, all connected visually
to the church of San Nicolò
built on the top of the hill
near Vigna on a design by
G. D'Aronco at the end of
the 19th century (modifying
the bell tower of a preexisting
medieval building).
Inside are stone and
polychrome wood statues
coming from San Daniele at
Collemonaco and from the
old parish church, among
which is a St. Daniel by
Pilacorte (early 16th
century). Another
wooden altar by
F. Pasiani from
Collemonaco is found
at Paludea in the
church of San Carlo,
together with the
altar attributed to
G. Riegher
(early 18th cent.)
|
 |
containing a Virgin
with Child and SS. Floriano
and Biagio by O. Gortanutti
(second half of 17th cent.),
and the statue of
San Floriano (16th cent.) on
the controfacciata.
Valentino Panciera, called
Besarel, is the artist of the
wooden Virgin on the left
wall (second half of 19th
cent.), while the stone
Virgin with Child on the
façade of a nearby
building is attributable
to Pilacorte's studio
(16th cent.).
An altarpiece by
V. Baldissera (second
half of 19th cent.) is
kept in the church of
San Liberale at
Oltrerugo.

| MANIAGO AND SPILIMBERGO
|
|
 |
While the Maniago area has been
marked by the century-old tradition of
knife makers, that has provided the
necessary support to its industrial
growth, Spilimbergo has
had a similar
experience
in the field of
mosaic
creation, as
the local
Mosaic School has
worked for decades at
the highest levels, also
obtaining important
international orders. But
Spilimbergo is...go
