Map of the Church |
The
Chiesa of Santa Maria a
Piazza,
albeit retained the most ancient of the town, appears in the
officials documents only in the half of the XII century.
This (in the actual release, after it was erected to parish)
shows the planimetric plant similar to San Nicola's, San
Giovanni Evangelista's and Sant'Andrea's, that is to say
with three naves (in the city the parishes only had the
privilege of the three naves). |

Particukar of the Dormitio Virginis (II° XIV half century) by Maetro di G. di Barrile. |

Adoration of the Magi (XV-XVI cen.) after Pinturicchio school |
On
the right nave there is a fine fresco of the
Adorazione
of the Magi
(XV-XVI century), from the school of Pinturicchio. In the
transept there was the fresco of the
Dormizione
della Vergine,
attributed to the Maestro of Giovanni Barrile (II half XIV
century). Below there is recently a
Crocifissione
with the Madonna and San Giovanni
Battista.
In the purse of the ancient sacristy the
busts
of the twelve Apostoli,
of an unknown cavallinian painter, an
Annunciazione,
of the Maestro of the Storie della Vergine (half XV
century), San
Michele Arcangelo
and an interesting Madonna
on the throne,
of renaissance period. |
In the presbytery, in the restaurations of the years '50-'60, some fresco came to the light among which a Santa Lucia, by a certain Cardillo from Aversa, a Sant'Antonio, San Leonardo and San Francesco (?) all from county culture; of the same group there are other frescos della Cona Vecchia, San Giovanni Evangelista and San Gregorio IX (?). Near the northern exit, in a newspaper kiosk, we can admire a suggesting image of the Madonna con Bambino of Sienesian culture (second half XIV century). |
