Delightful examples of typica
rural architecture may still be
found in two of the municipality
neighbourhoods, Chiopris and Viscone;
especially in the former, the extant
structures are of ancient origins.
In the parish church of Chiopris the high
altar dates from 1695 and was made by Leonardo Pacassi, the altar maker and sculptor native
to Gorizia. The altarpiece it contains is a
painting by Pietro Bainville portraying
St. Michael defeating the devil, while the

 |
frescoes are by Giusto Justulin (1911) and two
small
votive paintings with St. Norburga and
St. Fran-cesco Saverio are by Valentino Marani
(19th cent.). In the church of S. Zenone at Viscone,
the 20th-century high altar by G.B. Novelli
has 18th-century statues. Here again, the frescoes
are by Justulin (in the choir) and Lorenzo
Bianchini (1870 ca.) on the nave ceiling.
