The animated visit "Beato Claudio, la pietra si fa cielo," set between Chiampo's old and new churches and the Lourdes grotto he created and which houses his remains, recounts the life of Riccardo Granzotto, a young mason born in Santa Lucia di Piave in 1900 who, with determination, followed his precocious but thwarted artistic vocation by graduating in sculpture from the Venice Academy of Fine Arts.

The tour traces the human, artistic and spiritual biography of Riccardo who, when he seemed well on his way to a profitable professional career, chose to give himself and his art totally to Christ by becoming a Franciscan friar and spending himself in works of charity and masterpieces of great spiritual intensity until his early death from a brain tumor in 1947.
