Patron saint festival In 258 days
Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul
📅 Every year, on 29 June
On 29 June Bicinicco, a municipality of 1,922 inhabitants in the province of Udine, celebrates its patrons, the holy apostles Peter and Paul.
In the little church of Sant'Andrea at Gris, raised in the fifteenth century, the walls were painted from top to bottom between 1523 and 1531: seventy-two scenes from the Old and the New Testament over some two hundred and thirty square metres. It is a Biblia pauperum, a Bible for those who could not read one; the work is credited to the Venetian Gaspare Negro with his son Arsenio and their workshop.
The comune keeps three more churches: San Pietro in the main village and San Giusto at Felettis, both of the eighteenth century, and San Marco at Cuccana, which shares a parish with Gris. Here, beside Italian, people speak Friulian in its central-eastern form, and the comune lies inside the area where that language is protected by law.
