Villages
Colvere ( Colvuri in Friulian) lies in the Val Colvera, and takes its name from the stream. It has five borghi (boroughs), Gobbo and Cudili on the west bank of the Colvera, Fornasatte, Polàz and Mènis on the east bank. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the west bank was mostly settled by people from Casasola, and from Poffabro on the west bank.

“Ezra Pound still lives in a village and his world is a kind of village and people keep explaining things when they live in a village....

—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
