Point of interest

The present parish church was opened for worship on 1 May 1955, although it was still in a rough state. The construction work began in 1948 and continued with commitment for 7 years. Thanks to the donations of the families, the completion works were carried out: the red marble floor from Verona, the plastering, the electrical system, the heating system, the construction of the sacristy, the external plastering and the facade.

The new church was consecrated by Bishop Giuseppe Carraro in 1969. The Accademia Cignaroli of Verona was involved in the decoration of the two large sidewalls of the transept and commissioned one of its teachers, Federico Bellomi. This sensitive and ingenious artist, using unusual or very rare techniques, worked with dedication and passion for fifteen years to create an imposing fresco, “Arbor Redemptionis”, which constitutes the exceptional artistic testament of this painter and represents the History of Salvation, according to a scheme reminiscent of Michelangelo’s Last Judgement.

The centre of the fresco depicts Christ the Redeemer, encompassing the three moments of his life: the Incarnation, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection; to the side are the most significant episodes in history of salvation. It is a colossal work (240 square metres of surface area) that represents the culmination of an artistic experience: Bellomi’s Christian humanism, characterised by trust in God and man.
