Church of S. Michele Arcangelo di Ganzanigo

 

The church of S. Michele dats back to The Middle Age. The current building was completely rebuilt (and turned to the access road) in the early twentieth century with a neo-Romanesque exterior.
The old church had belonged to the Benedictine monastery existing until the fifteenth century.

The building has a three-gabled facade, with a portal to the top bezel and three lights.
The bricks at sight and gray stone recall the Romanesque style of the bell tower.

The interior is built in classic style with a cruise and chancel preceded by freestanding columns.
Inside the sanctuary there is a painting of the 17th century, depicting the Archangel Michael.
In the left arm of the cross is placed a fine organ built by Domenico Gentile from Medicina in the 18th century.
