The free Christmas visits organized by the volunteers of the Campedel Association return this year to discover the artistic treasures of the churches in Belluno: two appointments to unveil the history and works of the sacred places in the area through stories, anecdotes, and curiosities.
On Saturday, December 20th at 3:00 PM, we will visit the Church of San Pietro, a building commissioned by the Franciscan order in 1326 and demolished in the early 18th century due to damage caused by the earthquake of 1709, then rebuilt around the middle of the century. The so-called “Gothic chapel” and a full arch visible high on the right in the façade have been preserved from the 14th-century building.
Inside, there are several notable works: paintings by Andrea Meldolla, known as lo Schiavone, and by Sebastiano Ricci; wooden altarpieces carved by Andrea Brustolon.
Reservations are not necessary. We will meet at the entrance of each church.
