Church of the Madonna dell'Annunziata

Church of the Madonna dell'Annunziata

Near Avigliano Umbro, just outside the village of Toscolano, is the church of the Madonna dell'Annunziata. It has a single nave in which, at the back wall, has a shrine decorated with frescoes attributed to the Umbrian Renaissance painter Piermatteo of Amelia.

It was discovered in 1985 and restored in 1989 through the intervention of the Sopritendenza alle Belle Arti of the Regione Umbria.
Inside, a large fresco is visible, a Majesty, attributed by Federico Zeri to Piermatteo of Amelia (ca. 1481-83), in addition to many votive offerings donated to the church because of a plague.
On the front of the shrine, the cycle shows on the left an angel holding a page with the proclamation, at the center the Eternal Father in the form of a dove, on the right the Virgin holding an open book in the hand.
