Historical information
Of interest, the little church built in 1703 after a terrible mud slide called "la boa" almost covered the town. Inside of the church there are prestigious paintings by Besarel and Lazzarini. In the village of Fades, inside a particular area of the house the precious and ancient Black Madonna is kept which is the religious symbol of this town which was found among the debris left by the mudslide. Another element of culture and popular devotion are the famous "capitelli" little structures made of wood which represent sacred images and are placed at the intersections of roads and walk paths. They are placed here in order for people to reflect. In the past year when the economy was based on agriculture these images were used for different types of religious functions such as rosary and processions to invoke good weather and harvests.
