The lower bell tower of S.M. in Piano Photo

Photographer’s Note

Church of Santa Maria in Piano (Loreto Aprutino, Abruzzo, Italy).

The current architectural layout dates back to 1280 when the church was rebuilt in Burgundian style. More changes were made in 1559 with the addition of the portico, the main entrance, the polygonal apse, inclusion of large windows and a side entrance to the internal hall. The lower bell tower is medieval and its upper section is Renaissance, and the multicoloured majolica basins link it back to the churches of Sant'Agostino and Santa Maria Assunta in Atri.
