San Salvaro Church

 

This church was built at the beginning of 1100 by the will of the feudal lady Matilde from Canossa and it was established on the remains of a previous religious building dating back to the sixth century A.D., certainly situated near a Roman road. The building contains all the late Romanesque art elements of Verona: three naves, large apses, the absence of light and dark elements, projections and alcoves; thus its walls are smooth and uniform. The outer cotto brickwork alternates thin and thick bricks with some layers of tuff. The façade was renovated by the will of Don Trecca at the beginning of the twentieth century, the bell tower dates back to 1914, whereas the apses and the underground crypt are original.
