| • Places of Interest |
|
| Palazzo
dei Capitani : This building was constructed in the 16th century, and is situated on
the Piazza del Municipio. On the façade, numerous medieval coats-of-arms can still be
made out. On the wall there is a plaque commemorating the 19th of October 1506 - the day
when Pope Julius II passed through the village, accompanied by Niccol˜
Machiavelli. Inside, there is the local Museo della Civiltˆ Contadina ed
Artigiana, which celebrates local culture and craftsmanship. There is a wide range of
exhibits on show - from agricultural tools to furniture, photographs and sacred images. Parrocchiale di S. Stefano : The exterior of this often-restored parish
church features a porch with three arches. Inside, there are a number of paintings: an Angel
freeing St. Peter from prison (oil on canvas, dating from 1808); a Virgin with
Angels and Saints (oil on canvas, 18th century), and a 17th-century Visitation (oil
on canvas).
Santuario di S. Maria della Neve di Quadalto : This
sanctuary has been restored several times, but retains its portico with three arches
supported by pillars. The interior has three naves, and above the main altar there is a
statue of the Virgin Mary that is said to have miraculous properties. There is also a
17th-century organ and several paintings.
Badia di Susinana : First constructed in
the 12th century, and often partially rebuilt since then, the abbey is today used as a
farmhouse. The interior has altars in stone and several paintings: S. Giovanni
Gualberto worshipping the Crucifix (dating from the 17th or 18th centuries); an Assumption
of the Virgin with Saints (1626); a Virgin with Child and Saints (1626); a
17th-century Crucifix.
Chiesa dei SS. Egidio e Martino a Salecchio : This church has been restored
many times, but still features two bells and a cross, as well as engravings of the
14th-century Evangelists. |
