 |
It takes the name from "Quintum"
a military district situated at the fifth mile of the Roman road that led from Concordia
to Oderzo. The Parish Church of S. Biagio contains a Crucifixion by
Gregorio Lazzarini (1665- 1730), the marble baptismal font attributed to Giovanni
Pilacorte (1481-1535) and the wooden statue of the Virgin by Valentino Panciera called
"the Besarel".
The Parish Church of S.Giovanni Battista (Settimo) built in about 1468,
absorbing a pre-existent oratory, was completed with a bell-tower in 1622. The building
which has only one nave, is the result of extensions carried out at different times, and
today the original building consists only of the apse. Inside the building there are
frescoes by Gianfranco da Tolmezzo, by Calderari (La Madonna del latte) and by Padovanino.
It’s situated on the famous "strada dei vini D.O.C." |
