Sala dei Battuti

The Sala dei Battuti (Hall of Battuti) takes its name from the religious congregation that operated the purifying practice of self-flagellation, born in Umbria in the second half of the 13th century and also spread to Conegliano after a few years. The Battuti erected the primitive church of Santa Maria Nuova dei Battuti which, after a series of extensions, towards the end of the fifteenth century became the current cathedral of the city.

The external façade of the church is actually hidden by that of the Hall, marked by nine pointed arches on the ground floor that respect the theory of the arcades that characterizes the entire ancient Contrada Grande. Above the arches three-light windows alternate with scenes taken from the sacred scriptures and figures of sibyls and prophets, made at the end of the sixteenth century by Ludovico Toeput, known as Pozzoserrato. Biblical episodes such as Esther pleads with Ahasuerus, David and the Ark of God, Rahab hiding the Jewish explorers and others can be observed.

Inside, the room, with a rectangular layout and built perpendicular to the aisles of the Cathedral, has a wooden ceiling and various frescoes by Francesco da Milano, Pozzoserrato and other local artists, which describe episodes ranging from the creation of the World to the Last Judgment. The Sala dei Battuti was initially transformed into a prison (1807), then into a soldiers' shelter (1847) and was then left in a state of neglect until the 1960s, when it was restored.
