The 18th-century parish church
of S. Martino at Bertiolo
contains frescoes by the French
painter Loche on the vault and some
nice altarpieces by Odorico Politi
(St. Martin's Alms, executed on a vow by
Giacomo Mantovani from Bertiolo in 1822),
by Francesco Pavona (Virgin

of the Rosary, 1730), by Biagio Cestari and Pietro Bainville
(18th cent.). The colourful stained-glass
windows were created by Arrigo Poz
(1983-1989). The nearby ancient Sanctuary
of Beata Vergine di Screncis was designed
with its imposing columns on the façade by
Giuseppe Zandigiacomo in 1861.
In the church of S. Andrea at Pozzecco,
painter and cartoonist P.A.
Senci executed wide, colourful choir
frescoes (1945) and Rocco Pitacco left an
altarpiece (19th cent.).
