San Vito al Tagliamento is linked to Pasolini’s memory starting from the current seat of the Town Hall, formerly the residence of the noble Rota family, in the main square of the town, where the main facades of the buildings still preserve traces of ancient frescoes. The square was the focal point of the peasant revolts of 1948, aimed at forcing landowners to sign for the application of the Law that provided for fair relations between the two parties (Lodo De Gasperi). From these events, Pasolini drew inspiration for the plot of the novel Il sogno di una cosa, published in Rome in 1962. Equally linked to the events of 1948 is Palazzo Altan, dating back to the 1600s, today partly used as the Museum of Rural Life.

Also worth visiting are the Cathedral, the fifteenth-century church of the ancient hospital founded by the Confraternity of the Battuti, and, just outside the main town in the hamlet of Rosa, the Sanctuary of Madonna di Rosa, today a pilgrimage destination from Italy and abroad.
