Chiesa di Sarmede

Dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, it dates back to the first half of the 19th century and was built in the Baroque style to replace an older church, which until 1830 was part of the ancient parish of Rugolo. Inside, there are several works of art, foremost among them the canvas on the high altar depicting Saint Anthony of Padua together with Saints Roch, Sebastian, Florian and Blaise, dating from the second half of the 18th century.

 

Also of note is the marble side altar dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as the fine ceiling fresco by Noè Bordignon, in which one can see the old bell tower, now lost as it collapsed in 1936. The second altar on the left, carved from wood and dating from the 17th century, houses another painting depicting the Crucifix between St Bonaventure and St Charles Borromeo. On the first side altar on the left, one can admire the baptismal font, a work in marble and wood, originating from the parish church of Rugolo and bearing the coat of arms of the parish priest Bontempi.
