Frescoes in the church of San Brizio (Perugia province)

[image ALT: Much of my site will be useless to you if you've got the images turned off!]

What must this church have been like in the fifteenth century?

Almost all the extant frescoes are indeed of the 15c. Here, from left to right: zzz, St. Sebastian, Madonna and Child. (This is a clickmap: click on the active parts to zoom in; bullets • indicate even further detail available.)

Parete di fondo, a destra della porta d'ingresso: San Sebastiano; Madonna con bambino fra S. Antonio Abate e altro Santo; Madonna con Bambino; tutti del XV secolo.

Parete destra San Sebastiano; San Gregorio e San Brizio, del XV secolo; San Brizio, datato 1430.

Thanks to the inhabitants and sacristan of S. Brizio
who almost compelled me in from the hedgerows to see the inside of their closed church;
to Fr. Ernesto Broglioni, pastor of S. Brizio, for providing much assistance and encouragement;
and to Stefano Lattanzi for providing a historical sketch.
