Codogne': Circular Route, Churches and Villa Toderini

Codogne' among villas, churches and rural landscapes

Codognè combines several cultural and landscape highlights that appeal to different interests during a stay. Those who wish to consider historic buildings, sacred art and the character of a rural landscape shaped in particular by viticulture will find specific points of interest in the town and its surroundings. One of the cultural stops is Villa Toderini. The building dates from the early 18th century and is attributed to the Paduan architect Girolamo Frigimelica. Codognè is also part of the Commitment Zone of the UNESCO cultural landscape of the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. This zone lies outside the core and buffer zones and serves to provide additional protection for the rural landscape, particularly its viticultural character. Alongside the historic buildings and sacred works of art, the rural landscape, particularly its viticultural character, remains a point of interest in its own right.

A circular route with historic stops

The circular route begins at the Biblioteca di Codognè on Piazzale G. Ancillotto. In Codognè, it passes Villa Toderini and includes the ancient Chapel of San Crisostomo, which is considered to date from the 10th century. The time span of this section therefore extends from the chapel attributed to the 10th century to the villa from the early 18th century.

Via the hamlet of Cimetta, a variant leads to the Church of San Ulderico. It houses a painting by Palma il Giovane depicting Saint Ulderich and other saints. Another variant leads to the ancient Church of San Clemente, which is considered to date from the 9th century. In the hamlet of Roverbasso, Villa Rosa and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta del Palù are two further destinations on the circular route. Villa Rosa houses the headquarters of an agricultural business that has passed down the art of cultivating the land through generations. In Borgo Chiesa, the circular route leads to the parish church of Sant’Andrea, with a fresco attributed to Francesco Da Milano.

A variant also leads into the delle Prese area near the Resteja cascades.

Works of art and local history

A fresco dating from between 1505 and 1540 was uncovered in Codognè. During this period, Francesco da Milano, also known as Francesco Pagani, was active in Veneto and Friuli. Codognè is also home to an 18th-century altarpiece depicting the Madonna, Saint Roch and Saint Andrew. The sacred works include paintings, an attributed fresco and an altarpiece depicting three saints. Together with the painting in San Ulderico and the fresco in Sant’Andrea, they provide a multifaceted introduction to the town’s sacred art.

Music and culture in the central park

The CJF Music Festival is a recurring event in Codognè’s central park. It combines music with art, culture, sport and recreation. From 2 July through 4 July 2026 inclusive, three days of the festival featuring music, energy and a shared experience were scheduled to take place there.
