SAN LEONARDO

This Church was reconstructed several times and finally rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century to the design of Francesco Zambon. The facade dates 1931. The tabernacle dates from 1768 and is by Giovanni Miazzi, with bas reliefs by Giovanni Marchiori. On the high altar one finds an altar piece by Ludovico Pozzoserrato named "St. Leonardo".
The first altar to the right has a triptych in wood by the School of Giambattista Cima da Conegliano: "La Madonna col Bambino tra i Santi Bartolomeo e Prosdocimo", daiting from the beginning of the 16th century.
The celling was frescoed by G.B. Canal at the beginning of the 19th century and represents the "Glory of St. Leonard".
The church is devoted to Santa Rita.

SANT' AGOSTINO

Built between 1750 and 1758 to the design of Father Francesco Vecelli of the Somasco Order, it is the only baroque church in the City.
Eliptical in plan, it has rich decorations in stucco on a green background. Internally, we find paintings by Antonio Marinetti and Giancarlo Loth. Ludovico Pozzoserrato's altarpiece, the "Madonna dei Calegheri", was commissioned by Treviso's association of shoe makers who had ther own school in the old church at the end of the 16th century.
Two frescoes from the 15th century are located on either side of the entry.
