The project
Client: Bishop’s Curia of Treviso
Location: Treviso
Category: Restoration
Area: 600 m²
The restoration of the Church of Sant’Agostino, commissioned by the Bishop’s Curia of Treviso and completed around the year 2000, is a project of particular significance for Agribeton.
The church, situated in the city’s historic centre, is the only example in Treviso of a Baroque religious building with an elliptical plan: it was designed by Father Francesco Vecellio, of the Regular Clerics of Somasca, from 1752 onwards, and consecrated on 25 December 1758.
Its interior, decorated with white and ivory stucco and featuring rich inlaid marble, houses altarpieces by Ludovico Pozzoserrato, Antonio Marinetti and Domenico Maggiotto, as well as a precious Serassi organ dating from 1858.
Every decision regarding the execution of the work must be consistent with the original structure, in accordance with the principles of conservation-oriented restoration. Agribeton has successfully risen to this challenge thanks to the expertise it has built up over decades of work on the region’s historic heritage.

The result is the restoration of a masterpiece of Venetian Baroque architecture to the city, preserving its structural and artistic integrity. This project demonstrates Agribeton’s ability to work alongside institutional clients – such as the Bishop’s Curia – on high-profile projects, where the quality of the work is essential to the preservation of our shared heritage.
“The architectural monuments of the past serve as essential records for clarifying and illustrating the history of different eras and peoples, and must therefore be respected with religious devotion.”
