Information

The exterior in neo-Romanesque style has a brick facade softened by the portal and rose window, both in white stone. On the side there is a powerful bell tower with a square base, characterized by mullioned windows divided by columns in carved stone. The Bell Tower also exhibits, on the side overlooking the widening on which it insists, a clock of 1910.

The large interior space is divided into three naves by eight massive pillars with a square base, leading to the apse. Here there is a beautiful painting of the Assumption of the Virgin. The furniture of the Church boasts precious works of historical and artistic interest: several paintings of the sixteenth century placed along the walls and statues and ceramics of local artists. The marble Pergamum is of great value, based on the first arch on the right on four small columns of the Corinthian order, such as the baptistery and the organ.

But the most striking decorative elements are found at the entrance on the left side of the building. The architrave of the entrance has engraved in bas-relief the 12 apostles; above it, protected by a niche, there is the beautiful and sixteenth-century stone statue of the Madonna dell'Arco with Child.
