Chiesa Vecchia, Lonigo
Pieve or Old Church
The facade of this church, completely remodeled in 1543 and later enlarged at the beginning of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century, is characterized by four agile pilasters with capitals that run along the wall and the high base of the architrave of the tympanum .
The eighteenth-century bell tower of the church remains "the
"Bell Tower" of Lonigo, revived after the return of the Concert of the Nine Bells in 1988/89. On the last three bells, installed at Easter 1989, the images of the patron saints of ancient Pieve were engraved: Cristoforo, Quirico, Giulitta and the Saint of great devotion of Vicenza, Maria Bertilla.The founding of a bell school has produced in Lonigo enthusiasts and devoted bell ringers who ring the prestigious bells on every occasion.The bell tower of the Old Church characterizes the profile of the village and is soaring in grace worthy of the eighteenth-century harmony that governs the whole Church.
The interior is almost square, punctuated by powerful columns; Ten richly framed windows illuminate the classroom. Recent restorations make a visit to this church a tribute to eighteenth-century Verona painting. The current high altar, of neoclassical taste, replaces the original seventeenth-century altar that supported the mountain altarpiece now placed above the door of the sacristy. The baroque altars of the Pieve are miraculously intact and in their place each altar we see today had its seventeenth-century predecessor, from which some elements were used. All are in harmony with each other and with the architectural features of the church.
