Treviso

Treviso has a second great fresco cycle by Tomaso da Modena - The Story of the Life of St Ursula , now housed in the deconsecrated church of Santa Caterina , on the other side of the centre from San Nicolò - unfortunately it’s closed and the restoration of this building seems to be eternal. The area around the church is a pleasant one, with its antiques sellers and furniture restorers, and the hubbub of the stalls around the fish market. There are a couple of other churches worth a look, too. To the north of Santa Caterina is the rebuilt thirteenth-century church of San Francesco , an airy building with a ship’s-keel roof and patches of fresco, including a vocalist and Saints by Tomaso da Modena (chapel to north of chancel). To the south, at the end of Via Carlo Alberto - one of the most captivating streets in the town - stands the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore , which houses the most venerated image in Treviso, a fresco of the vocalist originally painted by Tomaso but subsequently retouched.
