Duomo
A few steps from the Piazza della Libertà is Udine's 1335 Duomo, with some significant works by Tiepolo (1696–1770). Its Cappella del Santissimo has important early frescoes by Tiepolo, and the Cappella della Trinità has a Tiepolo altarpiece. There is also a beautiful late Tiepolo Resurrection (1751) in an altar by the sculptor Giuseppe Toretti. Ask the Duomo's attendant to let you into the adjacent Oratorio della Purità to see Tiepolo's later works: the altarpiece Immaculate Conception and ceiling frescoes Assumption and Glory of the Angels, alongside eight monochrome, chiaroscuro scenes by son Giandomenico Tiepolo (1726--1804). The Museo del Duomo, housed in two 14th-century chapels and baptistery, contains sculptures (including a fine funereal marble sarcophagus), paintings, textiles, and devotional jewels.
