Chiesa della Beata Vergine Assunta del Pilastro

The first document attesting to the existence of the 'Madonna del Carmine', as it is known locally, dates back to October 1536: the chancellor of Bishop Callisto De Amadeis, who visited it that year, wrote a report specifying that the construction of the Church dated back already thirty years prior and had been consecrated by the Rev. Father Girolamo de' Sanctis, general vicar of Bishop Francesco Pisani shortly before 1534.

The little church of the Pilastro, with classical but rather simple architecture, today has a rectangular plan with a single nave. The interior, harmonious and simple, has three altars: in the center of the presbytery, the main altar, dedicated to the Assumed B.V., depicted in a canvas along with the apostles, a work made by the painter Jacobus Moretti in 1784; the baroque altar on the west wall, originally dedicated to Saint Lawrence, was redone in the 1700s and dedicated to the B.V. of Carmine. The same altar also housed a 'double painting', depicting the Madonna del Carmine, dating back to 1700 and, on the back, another image of the Madonna, dated 1605. The work, by unknown authors, was stolen in 1978 and has not been recovered to this day; in its place, there is a painting with the same dimensions and subject, created around 1990 by Raffaello Marigo.
