The AMICI del MUSEO Association in Belluno will dedicate the first meetings of 2026 to the knowledge of Belluno, the city in which it operates.

It will focus on one of the most significant architectural, artistic, and religious complexes: the Church of San Pietro, for which the 700th anniversary of its dedication will be celebrated in 2026.

A haven of silence, prayer, and historical memory in one of the oldest parts of the city, which develops along the perimeter of the Roman quadrilateral that runs alongside the Ardo stream.

The Church was commissioned by the CONVENTUAL FRANCISCAN FRIARS who had inhabited the adjacent convent of San Pietro since the end of the 1200s, of which the Gothic Cloister, currently open for visits, is an integral part.

The first meeting will be held on Thursday, March 26 at 5:00 PM and will focus on the construction of the Church and its subsequent renovations, curated by Don Antonio De Fanti, a former teacher at the Lollino High School as well as a canon of the Cathedral (an ancient institution dating back to the early decades of the 9th century). After researching and examining the various techniques used during the different construction phases of the Church of San Pietro and the materials employed, he has synthesized the results of his observations and studies into a work (drawings, models, photographic documents) that will be the subject of his presentation.

The meeting is free of charge.
