Chiesanuova


The village is formed by two rows of houses built along the topo of the hill: The name of this place is probably due to the remaking of the church dedicated to San Nicol•, which took origin in XI century. Inside there are signs of frescos of XV century. Closed to it there is the Giovanni Evangelista's oratory where you can find a painting of XVI century representing the Saints Sebastiano, Giovanni Evangelista and Rocco. The houses of the village are built with the typical country's architecture and keep the ancient structures such as stone portals of XIV and XV century. In the village there still is a house which, people say, there was the lazaretto during the pestilence of 1656.
