Oratorio di San Carlo Borromeo

The small church was commissioned by the Boniotti family for their villa in the early 1600s. The facade of the building, entirely smooth and taller than the building itself, features a portal with an upper shelf and is topped by a pediment, surmounted by three pinnacles equipped with spires that hold three globes with a cross.

Inside, the small nave is vaulted in a cross shape, while the presbytery is barrel-vaulted. On the left side of the building is the small sacristy that once communicated with the villa.

On the walls of the nave runs a decorative band where the remnants of the original stucco decoration can be seen, featuring elegant figures and ornamental motifs. The altar in classical lines is made of marble and has columns with Ionic capitals and plinths. Once, the chapel had an altarpiece executed by the famous Veronese painter Claudio Ridolfi, depicting the Virgin Mary with the Child and Saints Charles Borromeo, Francis of Assisi, and John the Baptist, but it disappeared shortly after World War II.

The oratory, which fell into ruin in the early 1900s, was left in precarious conditions at the end of World War II, mainly due to the collapse of part of the roof, resulting in water infiltration.
