Chiesa di San Bartolomeo di Villapiana

In the "plain of the County of Cesana" stands the Church of San Bartolomeo, one of the many small churches that adorn the Valbelluna.

The late medieval layout with a single nave is documented for the first time in 1515 but is certainly older.

On its walls, there are two well-defined painting phases, one from the 15th century and the other from the mid-1500s.

The Last Supper is one of the best-preserved in the area, with the particularity of the presence of red crawfish on the table, the 16th-century decoration created by Marco da Mel (circa 1505-1583) as noted on the plaque above the entrance door on the west wall. The Last Supper of 1540 was painted over the previous 15th-century one, removed in 1970 and now preserved in panels in the new Oratory of Lentiai.

Perfectly preserved on the right wall is the "Conversion of Polymnius" and some traces of other scenes on the west wall, divided by pilasters decorated with candelabras. In the center of the presbytery, a 17th-century wooden altar decorated with a panel depicting the "Virgin with Child among the Saints" and a painted leather antependium with St. Bartholomew. On the sides, two heraldic crests, one of Bishop Agazzi and the other of the Vergerio family, the latter linked to the history of the County of Cesana.

The church is opened and can be visited on special occasions such as the event "Fragments of Art in Valbelluna" and for celebrations.
