Santa Maria Maggiore

This church of the Renaissance period (built between 1520 and 1524), characterized by its portal and beautiful mullioned-window tower, is situated in the square which bears the same name at the beginning of Via Rosmini. Many Concilia were held within it, and it still holds numerous noteworthy objects: the marble choir (1534) is a masterpiece by Vincenzo and Gian Gerolamo Grandi of Vicenza. (Farther on along via Rosmini, at n.18, the mosaic floor of a roman villa of the second century A.D. can be seen in the courtyard).
