Church

The first mention of a church in Zimella dates back to 975 and was located near the Guà River. The current building is from the second half of the nineteenth century.

The neo-Gothic facade stands out for its bichromy, due to the bands of white and red marble and its height. At the center, at the bottom, three pointed arches stand out, with the central one slightly taller than the other two, supported by two columns. In the upper part of the facade, also tripartite, there are five double windows topped by a small rose window. Crowning it all are five Gothic pinnacles and other decorations.

The interior of the church presents itself as a single nave with a lowered arch ceiling. The stained glass depicts the Immaculate Conception and Blessed Fr. Claudio Granzotto, the Assumption, St. Florian of Lorch during his martyrdom, St. Joseph, and the Second Vatican Council. Among the altarpieces, we find that of the Madonna della cintura with Saints Augustine and Bernardino of Siena, created by Andrea Michieli known as “the Vicentino” and dating to 1560, and an altarpiece depicting the Crucifixion of Jesus with Saints Gregory the Great and Augustine, created by Serafino Serafini in 1587.

At the corners of the square presbytery rise pillars that support the vaults and the hemispherical dome; they have two larger pilasters and two smaller ones opposing each other.
The main altar features an ancient table and an altar front in polychrome marbles. The statues depicting Saints Vito and Modesto, made of Nanto stone, are from the eighteenth century and are signed by Giovanni Calvi.
