 The Hall and the Church of San Nicolò
In the XVIII century the assembly of Treviso invited the Domenicans to establish themselves in town with the aim of helping the cultural development of the town. One of the friars, Nicolò Bocassino, was elected as the Pope of Rome in 1303 and sent his community the sum of 70.000 golden "Fiorini" for the construction of S. Nicolò Church. Inside the Hall of the community, the series of the 40 domenican monks paited by Tommaso da Modena is an important page of medieval art in the town.
