Old Fountain
Old fountin (in it.Fontana Vecchia) whose waters wind up to gather in a large monumental basin dated 1885. Small in size surrounded by an enchanting garden that dresses up at the beginning of May and intoxicates the air with the blooming of wonderful red roses, presents a three-nave plan: the central nave is quite large with a wooden trussed roof; the connection with the aisles is given by non-symmetrical arches in stone blocks. The presbytery joined to the central nave by the triumphal arch, is dominated by the dome grafted on four regular and symmetrical arches in blocks of local stone. The cast concrete dome is painted on two registers. The front part of the presbytery is dominated by the main altar in local stone, adorned with a traditional Baroque decoration. Of the aisles, the one on the right is interesting for decoration using an articulated system
