Chiesa di Sant'Andrea e cimitero

A place of archaeological importance.

The church of S. Andrea stands on a site of considerable archaeological importance. The oldest building was much more modest in size than the current structure, the result of continuous expansions begun in 1445 and continued until 1600. Inside it preserves stretches of painted plaster – depicting a gigantic St. Christopher, St. George and the Last Supper – while outside there is the cemetery also enlarged on several occasions, the first of which was caused by an epidemic of cholera dating back to 1836. In 1981 and 2008-11, important archaeological stratigraphies were brought to light, dating back to a Rhaetian settlement (8th-1st century BC) formed by small basement houses obliterated by an early medieval necropolis of burial tombs, made with sandstone slabs of allochthonous origin.
