The oratory dedicated to San Bellino and San Mauro is located in San Mauretto, near San Michele al Tagliamento(Verona). In 1678, the Tagliamento river flooded and broke its banks destroying the ancient oratory, so the present-day building was built in the years that followed, although the precise date is unknown. The latest restoration work took place in 1983.
The oratory has a gabled façade, the door is framed by two semi-columns bearing a stone architrave. Two square, splayed windows flank the entrance. At the apex of the pediment is a small bell tower with a conical spire.
The interior is a simple rectangular space of modest size, with the sacristy behind the high altar. The ceiling features wooden trusses with exposed beams. Inside the oratory is a marble altar from the Church of St. Andrew in Portogruaro and an altarpiece of the Madonna with saints Bellino and Mauro.
