Duomo di Maniago, Catholic church in Maniago, Italy

The Duomo di Maniago, dedicated to Saint Maurus of Parenzo, is a late Gothic church built in 1488. Its simple gabled facade has a highly decorated rose window with 18 trefoil arches around a radiant sun, and a pointed portal with twisted colonnettes. The interior is a single nave with wooden trusses, three apsidal chapels and four side chapels. The bell tower, completed in its present form in the 18th century, has a bell cell with three bells installed in 1982.

Construction of the present church is documented from 1488, but carved fragments reused in its walls point to an earlier building on the site: a peacock with five other birds, a deer, and an interlace ornament, almost certainly from an old choir screen. The bell tower followed shortly after and took its present form in the 18th century; a first clock was fitted in 1745 by Giacomo and Osvaldo Antonio Cappellari of Pesariis. After the 1976 Friuli earthquake the upper octagon, cornice and bell cell were restored, and three bells were recast in 1982 by the De Poli foundry of Revine Lago.

The church is dedicated to Saint Maurus, bishop of Parenzo. In the right apse chapel, dedicated to John the Baptist, Pomponio Amalteo's 1558 altarpiece shows Christ in glory with five saints and, in the background, Maniago's castle on the hill and the cathedral itself. The predella holds three scenes from the Baptist's life.

The church stands in the centre of Maniago, in the province of Pordenone and the diocese of Concordia-Pordenone, and belongs to the forania of Maniago. The bell tower, slightly later than the church, took its present form in the 18th century; its first clock was fitted in 1745 by Giacomo and Osvaldo Antonio Cappellari from Pesariis. After the 1976 Friuli earthquake the upper octagon, cornice and bell cell were restored, and in 1982 the De Poli foundry of Revine Lago replaced the three bells, hung in the Friulian swing style.

The 1558 altarpiece by Pomponio Amalteo in the right apse chapel shows Christ in glory with Saints John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, Joseph, Peter and James, not the Ascension. Its background depicts Maniago as it was then, with the castle on the hilltop and the Duomo itself; the predella holds three scenes from the life of the Baptist.
