Where is Vissinale, Italy?

[tassiegirl43]

This is mentioned as place of birth of gt grandmother Arcisa or Maria Piccinin. Have had no luck finding this town / village. It may be in Azzano, Pordenone as this is where she lived after marriage to Luigi Canzi . Any help is appreciated.

Hi - there is a city, Visinale, about 40 miles northeast of Venice, in the Province of Pordenone:

This 1862-1876 map shows that, where Visinale is located today, there was a "Visinal di Sopra" and a kilometer south of that was a "Visinal di Sotto":

Another kilometer south of Visinal di Sotto are two more places, each labeled "Visinal di Sotto."

If you look carefully on the west shore of the Meduna river, just across from the northernmost Visinal di Sotto, is a label that looks like "Picenin." It caught my eye because of its similarity to your great-grandmother's surname.

Just northeast of Maron, in the center of this view, is another place labeled "Picenin," about three kilometers west of the Picenin that's located on the west shore of the Meduna River:
