The 'magredo' landscape between
Meduna and Cellina provides a
rugged background for the town of
Vivaro, as rugged as the Pietà
between SS. Antonio Abate and

follows the iconographic pattern of a
Vesperbild. In the church of SS. Fosca and
Maura at Basaldella, the altars on the right
show two noteworthy altarpieces by G. Narvesa,
one showing a Pietà with SS. Urbano,
Agostino, Girolamo and Silvestro (1616) and
the other portraying SS. Antonio Abate, Pietro
and Agata (1601). Moreover, the church of
San Paolo at Tesis is embellished with a holy
water spout and baptismal font dating to the
year 1529. The same neighbourhood also hosts
an Antiquarium exhibiting the Roman and
early Medieval finds brought to light in the
archaeological excavations in the area.

international orders. But
