Historical information Zoppè it is 1426 m above sea level, in a beautiful and panoramic position, at the foot Pelmo mountain, and near Col Duro, which divides Zoppè from the area of Cibiana. It is said that the ice cream makers of Zoppe were the ones who taught to the people of Zolda this fine art that they themselves learned from the Cadore people. In fact, at the end of the past century, Vienna counted dozens and dozens of ice cream strollers operated by people from Zolda and Cadore. The church dedicated to Saint Anna is dated 1530, it was enlarged in 1732 and consecrated five years later. This church holds a touching painting of a Madonna with Baby Jesus and of S. Anna between S. Paolo and S. Girolamo. The altar piece is attributed to Tiziano Vecellio or to one of his followers, and on many occasion was defended by the people of Zoppè from foreign invaders. Also there are many beautiful wooden pieces by De Lotto, Angelo Gamba Zampol and Dante Moro. To Zoppè, two great artist of this century Masi Simonetti and Fiorenzo Tomea, are intimately tied. Both of them, even if they came from different types of painting schools, found in this town and in the Pelmo mountain, the views and emotions to paint their home land.
