ISLAND |
|
|
|
|
|
 San
Giulio Island lies on the shores of the lake and it is the residence
of a convent of nuns belonging to an enclosed order . On the island
there is the Basilica of San Giulio ,that was built on a pre –
existent church that according to the tradition was the hundredth
church built up by the saint in the fifth century at the end of his
peregrination of evangelization.
Richly decorated with frescoes of Giovanni Mauro Rosselli, Giorgio
Bonola, Giuseppe Zanatta, Giacomo Filippo Monti, Ambrogio Figini,
the church preserves the very famous pulpit built with the grey –
greenish stone of Oira, a gem of the European Romanesque sculpture. |
