The bell tower and the Church were rebuilt between 1921 and 1922 and were reconsecrated on June 17, 1929. The only altar is the work of local sculptor Ingenuino Degasper, the altarpiece is by painter Orazio Gaiger and depicts the patron saint in sacred vestments. In two niches are the statues of St. Anthony of Padua on the left and Saint Leonard on the right. Upon entering, on the sides, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. / The bell tower is 27 meters high and has an octagonal wooden pinnacle. The two bells, dedicated to Saint Sylvester and Saint Leonard, were installed and blessed on December 27, 1922, and rang for the first time at 12 PM on December 30, the eve of the feast of the patron saint.
