Casa dei Tiepolo, Gianbattista
and Giandomenico: it was frescoed with entire cycles representing Carnevale and Pulcinella
which have been transferred to Ca’ Rezzonico Museum in Venice.
The Archpriest’s Church , dedicated to Mary’s Nativity and consecrated at the close of 15th
century, underwent a radical restoration in the 18th century and was decorated with stuccoes
in 1799 by Tiepolo. It is a great oil altarpiece representing S.Francesco di Paola and other
Saints. Attributed to the same author is the "Madonna with the Infant Jesus appearing to
S.Antonio". On the outside the square belfry can be seen, transformed from a civil tower
and extended to a greater height in 1508.
