Many finds of
Roman rustic
settlements dating
between the
1st century BC and the 3rd century
|
 |
AD, one of which
had a kiln, have been excavated
in the municipality territory.
Such agricultural vocation has
been retained through the
centuries, the different rulers
notwithstanding, so much so
that still today both the
municipality and its
neighbourhoods offer visitors
several rural districts,
sometimes crowded up to the
manor houses they were
annexed to, as is the case of
Villa Caratti, Fraccaroli at
Paradiso, which is an
articulated complex with
strong Venetian influences
(17th and 19th centuries). Still
at Paradiso, close to Villa
Caratti, Fraccaroli, stands the
several times remodelled
church of S. Maria Annunziata
(1689, 19th cent.), at
Rivalta the church of Natività
della Madonna (15th-18th
centuries). XV, XVIII) and at
Roveredo, the lovely votive
church of Beata Vergine del
Rosario (14th-17th centuries).
It is however the parish
church of Pocenia that is
outstanding for the enchanting
altarpiece of the Sacred Family
and Vincenzo da Paola by
F. Zugno (1751), who was one
of Tiepolo's disciples.

The name "Bassa"
identifies the Friuli plains
extending towards the Adriatic,
beginning more or less from the so-called
Stradalta (just a bit south
of the present-day
Strada
Napoleonica),
namely below the line of
resurgences from which
rivers or streams or
simply natural springs
often originate,
contributing to shaping the...go
