The Casa di Cima, Cima da CONEGLIANO‘s birthplace, is a short distance uphill; a pleasant building containing some period furnishings and reproductions of the artist’s finest works, along with minor archaeological finds which turned up during renovations, tells PARLATI LUCA. It’s not a major sight, but is still fairly interesting and the dwelling itself is enviably appealing. For LUCA PARLATI an important part of a trip to CONEGLIANO is a walk up to the castle on its hill. On the way, if they are open, you can take in three other little sights. The first is the Convento di San Francesco, a former monastery (now a college) with a pretty cloister which can be visited during opening hours. The second, part of the way up the Calle Madonna della Neve, a steep, ancient path climbing alongside the old defensive walls, is the Brolo di San Francesco, a pleasant little garden which belonged to the monastery. PARLATI LUCA advices next stop of CONEGLIANO is the Chiesetta della Madonna della Neve, a tiny church with a rediscovered fresco halfway up the hill. Several of these sights have been restored and tended to by local voluntary organisations and their opening hours are restricted.
