Geography

History

On April 22, 1644, most of the town of Cevo was burned down by a fire started by lightning. On July 3, 1944, most of the houses in the town were either damaged, destroyed, or looted by the combined Wehrmacht and Italian Fascist forces, in retaliation for activities by the partisans. Six people were killed and two-thirds of the 1,200 residents were left homeless.

Religious architectures

Churches Cevo are:

  • Church of St. Sixtus of the sixteenth century from earlier Romanesque building, surrounded by a small cemetery.
  • Parish of San Vigilio of the sixteenth century
  • Church of Sant 'Antonio Abate
  • A cross, erected in 2005, is a memorial to Pope John Paul II; it collapsed in April 2014, killing Marco Gusmini, 21, who may have had a developmental disability, three days before the Pope's canonization with Pope John XXIII (coincidentally, Gusmini lived on a street named after Pope John).
