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.

Known as the "Balcony of Friuli", Clauzetto is a charming mountain village in the province of Pordenone, nestled on a natural terrace offering an extraordinary panorama of the plain and the Tagliamento river. The heart of the village is dominated by the Church of San Giacomo Apostolo, reachable via a monumental 18th-century stone staircase, which houses the relic of the Most Precious Blood. A short distance from the center are the spectacular Grotte di Pradis, a deep gorge carved by the Cosa stream where unspoiled nature blends with history, thanks to important archaeological finds linked to Neanderthals. Walking through the hamlets of Clauzetto means immersing yourself in spontaneous architecture made of local stone that preserves the authentic and hospitable charm of the Friulian mid-mountain area intact.

Susans Castle, a private castle and venue for ceremonies and banquets, was probably the site of a Roman castrum, later a strategic medieval fortress. Susans Castle was first mentioned in 1031 as "Suzan's villa". Already subject to the Church of Aquileia, the fiefdom was assigned to Tommaso di San Daniele in 1275. In 1304, the manor was enlarged and strengthened by the new owners Federico and Asquino di Varmo who worked to "raise the castle in a larger and more beautiful form". Involved in numerous wars, the fortress passed from the Varmo Pers to the lords of Colloredo Mels. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the manor was built more or less in its current form, on a different site from the one previously occupied by the medieval fortress, in the second half of the seventeenth century, by Count Fabrizio di Colloredo Mels, Marquis of Santa Sofia, Prior of the Order of Santo Stefano in Lunigiana and major steward of the court of Tuscany, who wanted the castle as an elegant residence not detached from the context of the architectural tradition of the court. Medici Grand Ducal where Colloredo grew up and worked.
