CERCIVENTO: A WALK AMONG ART, HISTORY AND NATURE
51
The approximately 8 km route can be travelled
on foot or by bicycle. It winds on paved and
dirt roads and is suitable for everybody. It
starts in the “Plan da Farie” an area near the
ancient forge museum “Farie di Checo” (1).
Passing through the village, you can admire
photoceramic reproductions of masterpieces
from the history of art on the facades of the
houses: from works by Tiepolo to Raffaello,
from Rembrandt to Caravaggio (via della
Misericordia).
In the countryside, known as “Taviele”, you can
find fields of officinal herbs (2) still cultivated
today according to ancient traditions. Along
the route you can see the mosaic works (via
della Fede) made by Father Marko Ivan Rupnik.
In Cercivento di Sopra there are paintings
representing the life of Mary (via di Maria),
ceramic reproductions of Raffaello’s
Transfiguration and Michelangelo’s Last
Judgment. These works are inserted in a
context of courtyards and historic houses (3)
dating back to 1600. Continuing your walk, you
will find yourself in front of the Crist di Tof (4),
an ancient cross dating back to 1754, which,
in the past, marked a resting point during
religious processions coming from the hamlets.
The route continues towards the hamlet of
“Vidâl” up to the public wash house (5); here
you can choose whether to continue or return
to the starting point.
The second part of the route, unpaved along
the forest track, is completely immersed in
nature and is suitable for sportsmen, families
or less experienced hikers. Along the way, there
is a farm and experimental biodynamic apiary
(6), both of which can be visited. Climbing down
the road of Mount Tenchia, near the cemetery,
you can see the monument (7) erected in
memory of the four soldiers of the Alpine Army
Corps who were executed on 1 July 1916.
Once you reach Piazza della Pieve (8), you
can admire the mosaics made by the Mosaic
School of Spilimbergo (History of Salvation)
and, on one side, the vicarage Casa Canonica,
dating back to the early 1600 s , whose vaults
have recently been frescoed by Maestro Paolo
Orlando.
