History
Bolzano Bellunese is ancient in origin. The parish church dates back to the fourteenth century and is named for the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It retains an important cycle of frescoes dedicated to Saint Peter, of uncertain origin. The road below the church leads to Rifugio 7º Alpini, on the slopes of Mount Schiara, considered a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
