The church dedicated to St. Peter, the patron saint of Lamon, was built in the early Middle Ages, and has reached us in its current simple and bare external structure through successive additions.
A true treasure chest, this place of worship contains several artistic treasures: a fresco by Agostino Landrise (1590), a painted cycle by Girolamo dal Zocco (circa 1650) in the central nave, an altarpiece by Francesco Frigimelica (1640). Among these beautiful works of art stands a painted cycle by Marco da Mel dated to the 16th century and an altarpiece by Pietro Marescalchi from 1571.
Over the centuries, the building underwent numerous renovations, such as the one in 1552 following a fire that devastated the town and also affected the church, which was quickly rebuilt, so much so that it was already frequented by the faithful during the pastoral visit of 1565.
The most recent restoration was completed in 2018, based on a project by the architectural firm Studio Associato Architetti F.Doglioni and R.Daminato, which also carried out the construction management under the supervision of the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape.
The lighting of this church had to take into account multiple needs; it was not enough to simply illuminate it. The guidelines from architects Doglioni and Daminato were clear: enhance the frescoes and all other works in a sober manner without particular accents. A lighting that would move the visitor simply through the sight of the artworks. No “theatrical” effect.
Recently, the organ by Callido dated 1600 has been restored.
