Ottone's decree of
983 already
mentioned S.
Odorico, located on
one of the
Tagliamento fords. The old
Romanesque church had two
naves, a tower and a
semicircular apse still

paintings by Nicola Grassi
(Evangelists, 18th cent)

Diocesan Museum in
Udine. In the parish
church of
B. V. Annunziata at
Flaibano, Giovanni

Rocco, Urbano, Agata and

gilded wooden triptych on
two levels at the centre of

(now missing) of Virgin
with Child and Holy Father
stood. The altar in the
small church of
S. Giovanni is made of
stone painted by Carlo
da Carona (1536).
