Situated at the
confluence of
Rivers Torre and
Judrio on an old
Roman crossroads to

the ancient centa, or ring of
walls with defensive turrets
dating to the 14th-15th
centuries, on which houses
were built. In the area of the
centa, the splendid Villa
Strassoldo, Pace (1700s) is
outstanding, surrounded as it
is by a historic garden and
the main building developing
frontally with two protruding
parts that underline the severe
majesty of the villa. An
important noble residence
fronting onto the tree-lined
square on which also the
small church of
S. Margherita da Cortona
(1700s) fronts, containing
fittings of the same period and
19th-century frescoes, and
most of all the parish church
of S. Martino (17th cent.),
built on the site of a previous,
probably 15th-century church
of which only the good apse
frescoes attributed to a Tuscan
master remain. Inside is the
polychrome marble high altar
by Leonardo Zuliani.

Strada
Napoleonica),
namely below the line of
resurgences from which
rivers or streams or
simply natural springs
often originate,
contributing to shaping the...go
