Chiesa di S.Maria degli Angeli

During the last century, it was extensively redone in the style and design of the Segusini. The best paintings are by Lorenzo Luzzo, Pietro Marescalchi, Marco da Mel, and Jacopo Bassano.

The Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli houses a small depiction of a crucified Christ inserted in the left side altar, surrounded by numerous silver ex-votos. The tradition holds that it was found at the entrance of the monastery on August 6, 1509, protecting the nuns from the troops of Maximilian of Habsburg who were about to attack the city. Chronicles also recount that thanks to its intercession, the convent was saved on many other occasions, such as during the floods of 1564 and 1748, or the fire that broke out in the structure in 1777. 

The same altar also preserves the altarpiece by Jacopo da Ponte, known as il Bassano, The Flood of Colmeda, the stream that flows near the convent, completed in 1576 and commissioned to the artist following the heavy rainstorm of July 27, 1564. Opposite, the 19th-century altar displays a painting entitled Ecce Agnus Dei painted by Cesare Vecellio in 1581 with Saint John the Baptist in the foreground.

In the presbytery, the walls are adorned with numerous paintings by Feltrino painters such as the sixteenth-century Pietro Marascalchi and Lorenzo Luzzo, the Bellunese Antonio Lazzarini who painted the Flight into Egypt and the Presentation at the Temple in the second decade of the 18th century, and contemporary artists such as the two banners by Romano Ocri, a raku ceramic panel by Fulvia Celli, and a series of stained glass windows by the Flemish artist Raph Huet, created from 1987 to 1992.

The sacristy, visitable only with a guide, is dominated by the ancient carved and gilded wooden altar featuring a face of the dead Christ and the altarpiece from the first half of the 18th century by Feltrino Girolamo Turro depicting the Madonna degli Angeli; the same artist painted two other canvases for the convent now preserved in the Civic Museum of Feltre. The Abbess's Chair, carved in the 17th century, and the sixteenth-century statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, a blessing God the Father, a Baroque tabernacle, a Crucifix, and a 15th-century sculpture of Saint Clare are also noteworthy.

The church is open every day from 8 AM to 12 PM and from 3 PM to 6 PM.
