Parish Church of San Vito, Modesto, and Crescenza
Highlight • Religious Site
The parish church of San Vito, to which Saints Modesto and Crescenza have been added, appears in a document from 1222 commemorating Vito Pereto, the first known prior. The church with the adjoining monastery was held first by the Benedictines and then by the Cistercians, as evidenced by the first seven known pastors who were assigned the title of prior. It got secular in 1452 when the last prior, Gabriele de Buri, a Cistercian monk, was reduced to the century. In the period between 1692 and 1699 the church, like other sacred buildings, was desecrated by various armies passing by. The church was expanded gradually over the centuries, with the side aisles being extended to the front. The almost final structure of the building, which corresponds to today's plan, was achieved between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. The present large sacristy was built in the 18th century; the facade was erected in 1886.
The apse and the lower part of the bell tower have been preserved from the original Romanesque plan of the church from the 11th century.
On the second floor of the old rectory, formerly the site of the monastery that was attached to the church, there is a FRESKO of fine craftsmanship from the mid-15th year around 1960 in a room converted into a corridor.
