The artistic core of Vito d'Asio is
outside town, in the isolated
Pieve of San Martino (rural parish
church), whose interior is dominated
by the large stone altar by
G.A. Pilacorte (1525-28), a veritable threedimensional
anthology of popular devotion,
with the statues of Enthroned
|
 |
Virgin with
Child surrounded, from base to top, by the
statues of St. Martin and the poor, SS. James,
Maria Magdalene, Lucia, Margherita
and John the Evangelist, Nativity and
SS. Michael Archangel and Nicola, up to the
cymatium showing the Crucifixion and gable
with Holy Father, Angel and Our Lady of the
Annunciation. In the town centre is the parish
church of San Michele Arcangelo
(18th cent.) with a notable Virgin of the Rosary
(1835) painted by O. Politi, while the
Neo-Gothic Castle of Count G. Ceconi di
Montececon at Pielungo (end of 19th century)
takes visitors to a fairy-like dimension.

marked by the century-old tradition of
knife makers, that has provided the

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
