History and description

edit

A parish church, existing in 1094, was dedicated only to St Vincent, and only in 1344–1345, after the battle of Gamenario, was the dedication to St Anastasius added. In the 14th century, the church was rebuilt in a gothic style. Refurbishments in the 16th century altered the layout to a more centralized Greek cross and in 1559 added the choir. In 1744, Bernardo Vittone was commissioned to refurbish the facade as we see it presently; he also erected the belltower, which was restored and modified in 1874. The interior retains a baptismal font from 1474.[1]
