Santi Pietro e Biagio, Gothic church in Cividale del Friuli, Italy.

Santi Pietro e Biagio is a Gothic church in Cividale del Friuli with a single nave and exposed wooden roof trusses visible overhead. The walls display frescoes from different centuries, giving the interior a rich layering of artistic work across time.

The current structure was built in the 15th century, but it rose from the ruins of an older church that had been severely damaged by flooding. This rebuilding happened after a devastating flood in 1468 destroyed the original 13th-century building.

The entrance portal is dated 1492 and carved in the flowery Gothic style by Biagio de' Meritis and Antonio de Locria. The facade above it was frescoed between 1506 and 1508 by painters of the Tolmezzo school, recorded as Zanne de Toscanys and Pauli Impintor, whose names survive although the authorship is otherwise unknown. The frescoes show Saint Christopher, Saint George killing the dragon, Saints Peter and Biagio, Saint Nicholas and another bishop saint.

The church is located near the Tempietto Longobardo in the Brossana district and can be easily reached on foot. It makes sense to visit both sites together since they are very close to each other and enhance your understanding of the area.

The facade frescoes, painted between 1506 and 1508, are attributed to two otherwise obscure painters of the Tolmezzo school recorded as Zanne de Toscanys and Pauli Impintor. They show Saint Christopher, Saint George killing the dragon, Saints Peter and Blaise, Saint Nicholas and another bishop saint. Restored in 2013 to recover their legibility.
