Romeno - Santi Bartolomeo e Tommaso

Romeno - Santi Bartolomeo e Tommaso
Romeno is a small village in the Val di Non. The small church, outside the village, is surrounded by orchards. It may date back to the 8th century, though it was mentioned first time in 1187. Soon after the interior walls of Santi Bartolomeo e Tommaso were adorned with murals.

Some of the frescoes (dated to 1210) still exist.

This huge baptismal font (diam. 1,30m) placed near the entrance. is dated 12th century. Following the information given here, it was moved to Santi Bartolomeo e Tommaso from the local parish church in 1773. At that time Romano´s parish got a new, trendy, baroque baptismal font.
