Annone Veneto, S. Vitale's Church

Annone takes its name from " Ad Nonum" which means placed at the ninth mile of the Roman road which went from Concordia to Oderzo. S.Vitale church with a bell-tower was erected in the 15th century on the foundations of a previous tower of the ancient castle of Annone, or better of the walled-up castrum of Annone. The high altar is a renaissance work of Rinaldo da Portogruaro (1544); the altar piece of S.Fosca, from the 18th century school of Piazzetta; the sacristy with a stone wash-stand of the 15th century and 16th century frescoes. The mansions of Annone Veneto, like some farmhouses, were often decorated .we have an example in Casa rurale Giannotto (via Oltrefossa) with 16th century frescoes inside the porch. Situated on "strada dei vini D.O.C.".
