Frisanco is a center of the Friuli Venezia Giulia.
To know
The inhabited area is between 420 m of Colvere and 600 m of Villa Santa Maria, but the territory reaches the 2,026 m of the top of Monte Raut, which majestically overlooks the valley.
Background
It is believed that the origin of the town dates back to the Roman period, but there is no certainty. The area also had to be a place of refuge for people of Lombard lineage after the fall or during the dominion of the Lombard kings. Some mountains still have toponyms with roots or whole names of "east-gothic" origin. Obviously the Latin anthropic element was predominant from the beginning, of which even the local dialect is proof of this.
In 1500 with the fall of the Habsburg fiefdom of Pordenone and the weakening of patriarchy feudality begins the great Venetian expansion in the mainland and Frisanco becomes a very important place for the extraction of material and place of work (extraction of stones and wood, viticulture, haymaking, grazing and terraced agriculture not always successful) and trade in foodstuffs, spices, flavors and quartzes in nearby city markets.
With the 1600s and the bugbear of the Turks also Frisanco was hit by the social phenomenon of "taking refuge in the villa" and perhaps in this period improvements or embellishments or new buildings began to make the population permanent.
With the 1700s and before, the squabbles between the two most cohesive communities of Frisanco and Poffabro which will sharpen with 1811 due to the Napoleonic decree of the end of the municipality of Poffabro, already more economically advanced and faithful to Venice.
With the fall of the Lombard-Veneto Kingdom, a system of invassallation typical of a feudal system also falls and therefore still social changes at the top and perhaps emigration and even economic instability. After the age of the first Napoleonic empire, the community of Frisanco was minimally affected by insurrectionary mottos because it was a "limit" zone. At the end of the 1800s the great emigrations began for various reasons and for too many political changes in a single century or so. In 1900 the flows increased again and until 1950-60 for various countries of America and Europe.
Please note that the Accounts of Maniago they renounced the "ius-patronage" on the churches only after 1950. The municipality survived despite the small number of residents and the high number of "floating" and historical emigrants.
In 1976 the town was devastated by the earthquake of Friuli, which caused massive collapses and damage.

- 1 Parish church of Sante Fosca and Maura. It is mentioned in documents starting from 1492. In 1610 the building was enlarged with many wooden parts. In 1616 it was almost completely destroyed by a serious fire which also burned the archive. In that same century it became a parish with part of the territory previously belonging to the parish of Cavasso and in 1667 the new parish church was rebuilt.
- In the twentieth century there were important works on the structure. In 1939 Luigi Salvadoretti decorated the interiors and towards the middle of the century restoration work began during which the altarpieces depicting the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary is San Giovanni Battista between Saints Anthony of Padua and Osvaldo.
- The 1976 Friuli earthquake caused extensive damage that made new restoration work necessary and in 2017 the bell tower was also consolidated.
- The church has a single nave, has a semi-hexagonal apse and a wooden trussed ceiling. It preserves valuable works such as two statues depicting the saints Fosca and Maura, sculpted by Giacomo Contiero, the side altar of the Rosary, with a sculpture of the Immaculate Conception of 1884, the Via Crucis by Domenico Selva from Maniago, a wooden crucifix made by Valentino Belgrade and the altar of Sant'Antonio.
- 2 Church of Sant'Osvaldo Re (in the hamlet of Casasola). It was built in the second half of the 17th century and dedicated to King Oswald of Northumbria, a saint invoked to protect him from the plague. The town had in fact experienced the severe period of pestilence of 1620-1630. The church was a curacy built at the behest of some local chaplains of the Rosa family.
- In the following century the hall was enlarged and the altar dedicated to the English saint, the only one present in the eighteenth century, was placed in 1718.
- In the 19th century the church was again modified with the construction of the side altars.
- The exterior of the church, preceded by a small churchyard with local stone paving, is also made of ashlar stone coming directly from the territory. The façade has a single wooden entrance portal with a white stone outline. A rectangular window is placed in the upper part, which gives light inside the classroom. The facade ends with a protruding tympanum with a small oculus in the center.
- The interior, with a single small nave, has two altars on each side made in the 19th century reconstruction, while the square-plan presbytery is slightly narrower than the nave, raised and bordered by a balustrade. The altar is decorated with an altarpiece depicting Saint Oswald the King.

In 1653 the inhabitants of the town asked that Poffabro be erected as an independent parish from that of Maniago. The request was accepted and the parish erected. The current parish church was built between 1860 and 1888 and consecrated on 30 July 1927 by bishop Luigi Paulini.
