The tourist
renown of
Tramonti di Sotto
is certainly linked
more to the
excursions along breathtaking
paths or angling in the lake
rather than to art, but it is
certain as well that those
who do not enter the parish
church of Santa Maria
Maggiore are missing
something. Its choir, in fact,
contains fragments of early
16th-century frescoes by
Gian Pietro da Spilimbergo
showing an artistic
refinement equal to their
articulate layout.
The close-ribbed vault is
decorated with Doctors of
the Church, Angels,
Evangelists' symbols, Christ
and Enthroned Virgin,
Apostles and Saints. Behind
the 17th-century altar
(G.B. Bettini's statues are
dated 1744) is a fragment of
Crucifixion, while portraits
set inside circular frames
decorate window splays and
figures of Prophets are on
the arch intrados, showing
the Annunciation and Cain

and Abel's sacrifice on the
front. Scantier even are
the four stone Angels with
candles on the balustrade
(early 16th cent.)
attributable to Carlo da
Carona or one of his
followers of Meduno's
school. The church of
San Nicoḷ at Campone
contains a Virgin of the
Rosary by G. Turro
(18th cent.) and frescoes by
G.C. Magri (1963).

While the Maniago area has been
marked by the century-old tradition of
knife makers, that has provided the
necessary support to its industrial
growth, Spilimbergo has
had a similar
experience
in the field of
mosaic
creation, as
the local
Mosaic School has
worked for decades at
the highest levels, also
obtaining important
international orders. But
Spilimbergo is...go
