Chiesa di San Briccio

The first mention of the church of San Briccio is found in the Bull issued by Pope Eugene III in 1145, in which the Parishes of the Veronese territory subject to the then Bishop Tebaldo II are listed.

In 1883, the building was demolished by the Italian Army to construct the St. Briccio fortress, and it was rebuilt in 1885 based on the design by architect Don Angelo Gottardi.

The church features a neoclassical facade with protruding elements, oriented to the southwest. The central body, projecting in relation to the lateral wings, is characterized by a triumphal arch in which, flanked by two Corinthian columns, the entrance portal opens. On either side of the portal, within two niches, are the statues of the two patrons. The facade is topped by a pediment with an overhanging frame decorated with sawtooth motifs.

The plan is that of a single rectangular nave with four lateral semi-chapels each with an altar, a raised quadrangular presbytery finished with a semicircular apse. The nave is marked by Corinthian pilasters and crowned by a high entablature with a frieze. The nave is covered by a barrel vault with side ribs, rhythmically divided by transverse ribs and decorated with tempera paintings; above the presbytery opens a dome adorned with mirror decorations and floral garlands; in the apse, a choir of angels playing music is painted.

The flooring is made of white limestone from Lessinia and red Verona marble.
