Chiesa di San Sebastiano

Details
Category: Chiese

 

The church of San Sebastiano, near Colpetrazzo, dates back to the 13thcentury. It has a nave and a semicircular apse. On the right inside wall is an interesting fresco dated 1449, which portrays San Sebastian between Annunciata and the Madonna with Child - on the right side - and theAnnunciation Angel and St Fortunato -on the left side - 


Unfortunately the church has been severely damaged by the earthquake in May 1997, moreover it is now in a state of complete neglect. The roof has in part fallen down and has been propped. It was not possible, anyway, to save the affresco from being damaged by the rain (differences can be easily identified by comparing the image with the photograph 1, which has been taken before the earthquake). Fragments of the frescos which decorated the left wall lie on the floor
