Discover Nogaredo di Corno

For travelers who want to take church and local history into account when choosing a destination, Nogaredo di Corno offers several specific points of interest. These include the building history and furnishings of the Church of San Giorgio Martire, the Festa del Dono, traces of Roman settlements near Santa Margherita, and a more precisely specified route for the A8 cycle route.

Church of San Giorgio Martire: Building History

The first references to the existence of the Church of San Giorgio Martire date from the 14th century. Its present form took shape in the first decades of the 16th century. On April 25, 1525, Daniele de Rubeis, Bishop of Caorle, consecrated the church. On May 5, 1678, Patriarch Giovanni Delfino approved its expansion. The bell tower was built in 1690 by Don Giacomo Bertolissi. After earthquake damage, the church was restored and strengthened to withstand earthquakes.

These dates refer to different events: the early references concern the church’s existence, while the consecration, approved expansion, and construction of the bell tower mark separate, later-dated milestones. This makes it possible to place the building history in chronological context without treating the 1678 approval as a completion date.

Artwork and Furnishings

The furnishings include an organ made by Pietro Nacchini in 1756 and several altarpieces. The left aisle contains an altarpiece featuring San Giorgio Martire, created around 1557 by the Udine painter Giacomo Secante. The right aisle contains three small 18th-century altarpieces from the Church of Santa Margherita. The details place the works both spatially, by aisle, and chronologically, from the 16th through the 18th century.

Festa del Dono and Settlement Traces

A 2025 association periodical describes the Festa del Dono as an annual celebration in Nogaredo di Corno. Check the current dates locally before planning your trip around the celebration. The same periodical reports the inauguration of a donor memorial in Piazza IV Novembre on the same day as the festival. The memorial was planned and built by the Coseano section of AFDS.

Traces of Roman settlements have been found near the ruins of the ancient Church of Santa Margherita, on the left bank of the Corno. This extends the historical perspective beyond architectural and artistic history to traces of Roman-era settlement in the surrounding area.

Cycling Route and Directions

The A8 cycle route, “Nobili dimore dell’alta pianura,” runs as far as the bell tower by the Church of San Giorgio Martire and then continues along Via dei Fiori toward Flaibano. The bell tower is therefore a specific landmark along the route. Another set of directions starts at Piazza IV Novembre: from there, the route goes left along Via del Ponte toward Silvella. The two directions point to different destinations: the A8 continues toward Flaibano, while the route from the piazza leads toward Silvella.
