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
extant. The present-day
neo-Gothic building dates
to 1911 and contains four
paintings by Nicola Grassi
(Evangelists, 18th cent)
now deposited at the
Diocesan Museum in
Udine. In the parish
church of
B. V. Annunziata at
Flaibano, Giovanni
Antonio Pilacorte's side
portal is decorated
|
 |
with cherubs' heads (1506).
Inside, good paintings by
Bernardino Blaceo
(16th cent.) portray SS. Peter
Martyr, John the Evangelist,
Rocco, Urbano, Agata and
Brigida: they were part of a
gilded wooden triptych on
two levels at the centre of
which the two statues
(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).

legend was formed with the earth
carried in Attila's soldiers'
helmets since the king, after
having sacked Aquileia, wanted to see
it on fire) it is possible to sweep in
one look the whole of Friuli, from...go
