Church of San Francesco
The building belonged to a convent rose in the second half of the thirteenth century near the church of Sant’Egidio. Its origin can be known through the portal, very similar to the one of Sant’Egidio, and through the construction of the convent. The cloister of the convent is covered and it became the Theatre “Pietro Cotini” (XX century). To see the original octagonal bell-tower, which is directly located on the sloop of the hill, and which is inside the walls of the castle.
The inside of the church is with an unique aisle and it was restructured in neoclassical style. The works of art contained in the church are very precious; between them we remind the “Eterno Padre e quattro sante” by Maffeo Verona (1576-1618), the “Madonna col Bambino tra san Rocco e san Sebastiano” by Filippo Bellini (1530-1603) and others baroque paintings, one of which represents Staffolo (XVII century). Above the entrance there is the precious organ of 1769, the 51th work of the famous Venetian organ-builder Gaetano Callido (1717-1813).
