The Enrico De Cillia picture gallery can be found hosted in a building from 1879 which is distinguished by a beautiful red gate. This is a small contemporary art museum which represents one of the most active cultural realities of Carnia. In terms of the quality of its collections, it is second in the province only to the Modern Art Gallery in Udine.
The dedication to Enrico De Cillia (1910 – 1993) is significant in the origin of this institution. It was created in 1975, the year in which the artist and collector, born in Treppo Carnico, gifted to the village of his birth fifty works of known exponents of the Friulian twentieth century.
The entire collection today boasts over one hundred works. This is thanks to the generosity and sensitivity shown by artists, individuals and also the municipal administration which in 1997 bought more than twenty six oil paintings from the master.
The collection can be though of as whole or the entire collection can be subdivided into smaller collections, of which the most important one is without any doubt that dedicated to landscapes with works by Domenico Someda, Antonio Coceani, Marco Davanzo, Marino Sopracasa, and Enrico Arsella, or the more recent Friulian landscapes of Angelo Variola, Arturo Manzano, Angelo Popesso, Vico Supan, and Gianni Borta.
