Villa Tauro - Pullir di Cesiomaggiore

 

A remarkable work in Fonzaso is the church della Nativitą di Maria, whose period of construction is unknown. It was a parish church already in 1500, then re-built in 1581 and in 1610 after a devastating fire which destroyed the village. The sacred building features some paintings by Frigimelica, Forabosco and by other well known artists in the territory, besides two remarkable wooden statues by Francesco Terilli. Outside, a fresco depicting San Cristoforo carrying a child on his shoulders, surrounded by a lush landscape. Leaving Fonzaso towards Primiero and along the Pedesalto gallery you can admire the extensive mountain landscape and discover in a high position facing the mount Cismon the small but striking church of Santa Giustina, easily reachable by bike through a dirt road. The church has been recently restored thanks to the support of the local alpini. It features some fine 15th-century frescos, presumably executed by Giovanni di Francia. .

In Lamon, homeland of the "bean" par excellence, stands out on a hill, the possible site of an old castle (maybe belonging to Lamone, son of Ercole and eponym of the place) the fine church of San Pietro Apostolo which is surrounded by a small and striking cemetery. Destroyed by a fire in 1500 and later on re-built, it features a fresco of San Cristoforo, like in the church of Fonzaso. Inside, it contains 16th-century paintings such as a Last Judgement by Agostino Landrise, Marco da Mel's son-in-law, an important artist who has also executed the Madonna with Child, to be seen in the same church. Other remarkable works are by Pietro de' Marescalchi (Madonna with Child, San Pietro and San Paolo on the main Altar, 1571) and San Giovanni Battista by Frigimelica (mid of the 17th century).Torrente Rumarna
