History

The present church is a reconstruction, after the earthquake of 1920, of the classical 16th-century church designed by count Ottonello Ottonelli. The stone façade has a central oculus, and two flanking windows. The interior has two polychrome wood altarpiece frames: one houses an Assumption (1600) painted by Francesco Cavazzoni, while the other has a Madonna and Saints by Mastelletta.[1]

gollark: With great difficulty, or subframe?
gollark: Oh, right. You're limited to however much fits on the screen.
