Church and Art in Sant'Alberto

The Church of Sant'Alberto Vescovo e Martire in Sant'Alberto (Zero Branco) is dedicated to Saint Albert, bishop and martyr. Its construction and consecration history includes two significant dates: it was rebuilt and reconsecrated in 1621; in 1883, it was consecrated again in honour of Saint Alberto. The church also contains the painting “Madonna del Rosario e i Santi Rocco, Sebastiano, Lorenzo e Domenico di Guzman” by Bartolomeo Orioli (1567–1629).

The ecclesiastical heritage also includes the Oratorio di San Girolamo. It was built between 1747 and 1757 by the Borsa family, recently restored, and has a marble altar dedicated to Saint Jerome with an altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child with Saints. A chapel dedicated to Saint Jerome stands not far from the birthplace of Maddalena Volpato in Sant'Alberto.

Following in the Footsteps of Maddalena Volpato

Maddalena Volpato was born in Sant'Alberto on 24 July 1918. A short tour of her roots begins at her rural birthplace in Bertoneria, which is no longer in use today. Bertoneria is a locality in the municipality of Zero Branco and lies approximately three kilometres from the centre of the Sant'Alberto district. The tour ends at the cemetery of Sant'Alberto, where her remains have rested since November 1972.

Sagra Paesana and Dishes from Veneto

The Sagra Paesana di Sant'Alberto is an annual summer festival in the Sant'Alberto district of Zero Branco, in the Marca Trevigiana area. The Sagra includes a food stall open every evening, serving traditional dishes from Veneto. The festival thus complements the cultural impressions with a culinary focus that fits well into a stay centred on regional interests.

Trails along the Zero and Rio Vernise

At the “4 passi par pair” event, the route follows the banks of the Zero and the Rio Vernise, through cultivated fields and the Montiron Oasis; the Green way is also included. At this event, three routes of 5, 8 and 12 kilometres were available. The different lengths help you plan an active day according to your preferred distance, while the landscape connecting waterways, fields and the oasis offers a variety of impressions.

The event was open to everyone, including families with prams, wheelchair users and people with dogs on leads. For your travel planning, this is a concrete indication of the different needs that can be taken into account on a shared outing. Whether you are planning cultural stops at your holiday apartment or setting aside time for outdoor activities, Sant'Alberto offers several clearly distinct points of interest.
