In spite of its steady links with
Austria, lasting from 1526 to the
Great War, the most remarkable
works of art here are reminiscent of
Venetian influence, as in the large
Villa Steffaneo, Roncato (1600s) at Crauglio,
embellished with stuccoes and frescoes
attributed to Francesco Chiarottini and
Francesco Fontebasso (18th-cent.), while some
frescoes in the family chapel

and in the local
church of S. Canziano (16th-18th centuries)
are directly attributed to Gian Domenico
Tiepolo, who stayed in the villa for a short time,
or, anyway, to the strong influence of his
painting. At Nogaredo al Torre Villa Gorgo,
Maniago is a harmonious 1755 building with
side barchesse, stable and historic park, today
the venue of a horse show. At San Vito,
in the parish church of SS. Vito and Modesto,
built in 1778 on the site of an earlier church,
the Baroque altar and paintings and later
works may be admired.

rivers or streams or
simply natural springs
often originate,
contributing to shaping the...go
