The simple and harmonious façade leads to an interior enriched with frescoes, stuccoes and works that reflect the devotion and artistic refinement of the communities that have cared for it over the centuries. Among the treasures preserved inside is a pipe organ built in 1679 by organ builder Andrea Bassi of Ravenna, restored by the Zanin company in 1991. Also of great value is the bell of the Sacristy, cast by Giuseppe Ripandelli of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi in 1836 and richly decorated. ✩ ✩ ✩ ©Ermenegildo Guerra 06/08/2025 For further information and photos: [email protected] Website of the Italian Association of Campanology: www.campanologia.org
