Paris in the early 1900s is a city "where pleasure becomes an industry in which an immense, anxious crowd throngs, where elegance is an inexhaustible chase and charm a flame of short duration. But the Paris of the early 20th century is not just the city of 100 theaters, of 1000 social gatherings, of the first cinemas and the famous café-chantants; it is also the vast open-air workshop where a multitude of artists and intellectuals work on the construction of what we now call modernity." The protagonists are three young musicians from Slovenia, the Veneto region, and our region who met at the Chamber Music Courses of the Fondazione Luigi Bon held by Professor Federica Repini, finding a harmony of intentions in the construction of this original program.

Church of San Giorgio Martire

Though it's a small town, Preone relies on a very united community and offers numerous reasons for a visit. Its name recalls that it was one of the very first human settlements in Carnia and it is referenced in the name of Preondactylus Buffarinii, one of the oldest Pterosaurs ever found in the world. This was one of the extremely important fossils (shrimps, fish, plants, small reptiles) found in the paleontological area of the Seazza river.

In the area, there are also the Arzino springs and waterfalls, a pristine jewel of nature set in fairytale beech woods, and the Vallo Littorio fortifications.

The church of San Giorgio Martire houses numerous fine frescoes, including those by Antonio Taddio (19th century), the Annunciation by Andrea Orsaria, Saint George and the Dragon by Giacomo Tesari (dating back to 1945), and the Crucifixion by Palma il Giovane (around 1570).
