May 31, 2008 Town of Conigliano

After the wedding Deb, David and I drove to the old town of Conigliano. We parked near a winery for whose founder the street was named. This statue was in front of the building.





I liked this house.





You entered through this portico into the old part of town. On one side was a fresco showing the Venetian Lion (Saint Mark) and the other side had a carving of him.






Many of the building had frescoes painted on them as well as under the portico. Also notice the Turkish influence on the buildings with the arched windows.














There were different churches scattered about offering quiet and respite on a hot day, and we visited two of them.






There was a school of the arts located in town.




Neptune and the canal were also refreshing water features.
