The Dairy Specialty Montasio Dop Contacts Where we are The Abbey The millennial Summaga Abbey it is located about 3 km. from Portogruaro, in the direction of Treviso. The origin must probably be placed in the 10th-11th centuries, by the bishops of Concordia. Of the religious complex, the monastery disappeared, only the longitudinal-plan church survives today, with three naves ended by three apses. It dates back to 1211, even if the facade is from the eighteenth century. Of great value are the frescoes in the chapel (11th-12th century) and those in the central apse (13th century), which indicate two artistic moments of Romanesque painting in Friuli. The frescoes in the early medieval chapel represent the Redemption, with Adam and Eve, sin, punishment, crucifixion and the final judgment. In the central apse the frescoes represent: in the semi-dome, the Virgin with Child, within an almond supported by four angels, on the sides symbolic representations of the four evangelists and at the ends the figures of two saints. In the middle band Christ and the twelve Apostles. In the lower register, the Gospel parable of the wise virgins and foolish virgins, partially lost. The frescoes underwent major restoration work in the period 1983-1993. Copyright 2004 - 2014 Summaga Dairy P.Iva 00385360276 Web sites
