The parish church of
S. Giacomo Apostolo was
designed and built by Giacomo
Della Mea on the site of a
18th-century building demolished
(with the ceiling fresco of 1773) in 1961.
It is a single-nave church made of brick
and reinforced concrete, with prominent
ribs in the vault and gable façade with a
small porch. The tall bell tower in
mixed styles, built between 1898 and
1910 on a design by Elia D'Aronco at
first, then Ernesto Bergagna and finally
Luigi Pitocco, has

a bronze statue of the
Redeemer on top designed by Luigi De
Paoli, the sculptor from Pordenone.
Also the parish church of S. Martino
at Passons dates from the late 1800s
(1870 design by Giobatta Lunari
carried out by the Girolamo
D'Aronco's firm): inside are notable a
Antofresco
by Giovanni Battista Sello on the nave
ceiling (Assumption), a painting by Angelo Rizzi
(St. Anthony, 1926), and an altar by Isidoro
Zugolo (1900). Giuseppe Stuflesser's (1938)
are instead the wooden statues of St. Anthony
and the Sacred Heart. The ancient small
church of S. Caterina has recently revealed
important medieval frescoes remarkable
both for their historical and artistic value
and for their beauty and age. At Colloredo
di Prato, which still preserves the old
ring of walls surrounding several typical
houses, the 18th-century Villa Sabadini
is notable. The municipality of Pasian is
also graced with lovely naturalistic
areas as the park of Torrent Cormor
and the agricultural landscape though
which Torrent Lavia flows.

It is not certain that the name Udine is of
pre-Roman origin, as researchers support,
deriving from a word meaning 'mamma'
and then metaphorically 'hill'. The fact is,
however, that from the hill in the middle
of the city (which according to a
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
