Visits to the Church of Saint Louis of Toulouse – Museum of Tasso and Postal History
The church of St. Ludwig of Toulouse is located in the hamlet of Bretto, a small village, in the municipality of Camerata Cornello, linked to one of the branches of the Tasso family: the Tasso del Bretto family who carried out postal service between Venice and Rome, and between Venice and Bergamo.
The church's small size is compensated for by the richness of the extensive and well-preserved cycle of frescoes, the oldest being from the 16th century, and the portrait of Torquato Tasso crowned with laurel.
The visits are organized in collaboration with the Parish of Camerata Cornello. In case of snow and inability to reach the church safely, the visit will be cancelled.
