The rural district of Clauiano,
with houses by the typical
architecture, with "a vista" stone
walls and lowered-arch portals, is
one of the best-preserved in Friuli:
its beauty has justified the recent restoration
of some houses. In the municipality some
villas by the delightful architecture are
outstanding, as Villa Manin at Clauiano
and Villa Elodia Rubini Cipollato at
Trivignano, apart from peculiar buildings
such as the lovely "foledōr" of Villa Ariis
at Clauiano or the large block of houses of
the old customs. In the neighbourhoods,
three old churches are respectively
dedicated to S. Michele, S. Marco (with
fragments of frescoes inside) and S.
Martino: the precious frescoes in the latter,
dating from 1482 and detached from their
original location a few decades ago, are
now preserved in the Civic Museums of
Udine. In the parish

church of Trivignano
it is interesting to see the Baroque marble
altars (the Altar of Relics is spectacular for
its sumptuous decorations and the high
quality of sculptures), the good altarpieces
by Fulvio Griffoni (1658-1661), the
frescoes by Domenico Molinari (1783) on
the vault, by Giovanni Fantoni (1909) in
the nave and by Carlo Zorzi (1938) in the
presbytery. In the church of S. Giorgio at
Clauiano the 16th-century baptismal font by
Carlo da Carona, the high altar by Pasquale
Lazzarini (1698) and the Adoration of the
Magi painted by Osvaldo Gortanutti nel
1690 ca. are worthwhile. Finally, in the
church of Melarolo, the
altar by Gio. Batta and
Adeodato Pariotti (1769)
may be seen.

village but a small town, as the
lines of a famous Friulian villotta
rightly sing: Cividale, in fact, since
its foundation by the
Romans, was the
main city in the area and under
the Lombards the capital of
the Duchy of Friuli. Still
