In Piazza San Rocco in Spilimbergo stands the Church of San Rocco, a small architectural gem consecrated in 1515 as an ex-voto for the end of a plague. The building immediately stands out for its unique light-colored stone facade, crowned by an elegant curvilinear pediment in Renaissance style, and for the very tall spire bell tower that towers over the square. The interior, with a single nave, surprises with the richness of its frescoes attributed to Marco Tiussi, which decorate the apse with sacred scenes in vivid colors. Carefully restored during the 20th century, this church represents a historical and spiritual landmark dear to the local community, perfectly blending Friulian popular devotion with the refined geometric elegance of the early Renaissance.

Spilimbergo is a charming medieval village nestled on the right bank of the Tagliamento river, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Internationally known as the "City of Mosaic", it preserves a prestigious artistic tradition that lives and is passed down in its famous Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli, a world reference point founded in 1922. Strolling through the historic center, you breathe an atmosphere of yesteryear, amidst elegant frescoed palaces, ancient towers, and the suggestive Castle, embellished by the colorful Palazzo Dipinto. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore, a Gothic masterpiece, houses precious 14th-century fresco cycles. Spilimbergo wonderfully blends the solidity of Friulian culture with the refinement of art, offering a perfect combination of excellent craftsmanship, history, and a welcoming enogastronomic tradition.

The Archpriest's Church of the Holy Cross and the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary Built in the final decades of the 19th century, the archpriest's church is located in the heart of the village, not far from Pasolini's maternal home. The building is particularly notable for its twin bell towers flanking the façade, both with four single-lancet windows and two clocks. The interior houses numerous works by 20th-century Friulian artists, including numerous frescoes.
