Photographer's Note
Church of Santa Maria di Pietrarossa - Trevi
Among the most famous monuments of the Trevano is undoubtedly the Church of Santa Maria di Pietrarossa.
The name of the church and of the locality is given by a red stone which is now embedded in the second pillar, to the right of whoever enters the church. A very ancient tradition, perhaps dating back to paganism, attributed thaumaturgical powers in the treatment of infertility. The church was built over the remains of an ancient Roman building, perhaps a temple or perhaps ancient baths built near the river Clitunno.
The building retains the original strongly asymmetrical structure, with a rather irregular pattern, in which no measure exactly matches the parallel one, as is often the case in medieval rural churches.
A portico with a wooden roof and tiles surrounds the church on three sides, the interior has a basilica plan with three naves, divided by irregularly shaped pillars, three in the left aisle and four in the right, which support lowered arches, of which the left center is very broad.
Characteristic of the church is the presence of an incredible number of ex voto frescoes, largely depicting the Madonna and Child, there are at least ninety, I propose some of the most significant, not all, of course. This is the work of Bartolomeo da Miranda.

Hello Silvio,
The colours have faded heavily and in the lower part they are completely gone, but it is still a beautiful painting that makes a strong impression. But here we see another baby looking like he is about 40. ;-) The painting has a beautiful frame and the photo has a fine clarity and sharpness.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Silvio,
La fresque attire le regard. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de la fresque qui est à l'intérieur de l'église de Santa Maria di Pietrarossa. La lumièere met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Ciao Silvio,
Frescoes are always special paintings, but this would must become restored
Colours and presentation makes your picture interesting.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,

Ciao Caro Silvio,
The painters of old seemed to have great trouble making babies appear like babies! I wonder if it was impossible to use them as models or maybe their features changed too quickly for the speed of the painters!
Apart from that, it is a fine fresco, the rich colours and the beautiful patterns standing out particularly well.
You have clearly shown the fresco and its condition. It is a pity that the fresco is so damaged and may not last another century if not restored.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
