The Old Parish Church of Santo Stefano was deconsecrated during the fascist period and it was only in recent years that it was restored and converted into a multifunctional building. It hosts an auditorium for cultural events dedicated to Paolo and Davide Disarò (two brothers who died in 1985 in the Val di Stava tragedy) and it offers exhibition space and meeting places for different social initiatives and cultural associations.
