Local Life and Roman Orientation

Anyone interested in historical connections and ancient routes will find a concrete starting point here for exploring the region's past.
Church Art and Palace History
The Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista preserves two white marble sculptures from the 18th century attributed to Antonio Bonazza. The piano nobile of Palazzo Mingoni contains mythological frescoes and scenes from ancient legends by Giovan Battista Cromer.
The brothers Attilio and Vincenzo Mingoni designed Palazzo Mingoni and began its construction between 1680 and 1690. Together with the frescoes, this offers insight into different aspects of architectural and art history, which can also be interesting for shorter cultural activities.
