マッサEコジールのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Documented since 910, it has been completely transformed by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century interventions. Recent restorations have highlighted medieval elements in the façade, while under the space facing the entrance a vaulted room has been brought to light, probably the crypt of the pre-existing church. The interior with three naves, with a quadrangular apse, has Ionic columns and is entirely decorated with stucco friezes. The barrel vaulted ceiling of the naves hides the wooden beams from view. An interesting fragment of a fourteenth-century fresco from the Giotto school, depicting the Martyrdom of Saint Sixtus, while on a side altar there is a Madonna and an Angel from the Della Robbia school. In the choir there is a canvas with the Sorrowful Madonna between Saints Francis of Paola, Luigi Gonzaga and Filippo Neri, by Alberico Carlini from Vellano, and another, fragmentary one with the Madonna of the Rosary, painted by Spinamonte Vanni perhaps at the beginning of the seventeenth century for a convent of nuns that existed in ancient times in the town.
