The Mass, besides being a spiritual moment, has always been a very important social bond for the mountain population. It is from here, in fact, that arose the idea to combine the rite with a short musical intervention of about 30 minutes, accompanied by performers’ introductions, to make music a sharing experience as well. An initiative conceived to give those who rarely leave home in the evenings the chance to listen to the notes of some historic organs, often little played, but of absolute value to Carnia.
Church of San Nicolò
It has been established that a church already existed in Amaro by 1350. This church was restored in 1450 and in 1650, and rebuilt in 1742. From a 1773 document, we learn that, in the past, this church had been the first branch of the parish church of Cesclans and, later, of Cavazzo.
