Where to Start?

There are so many beautiful and interesting things in this church — one of my favorites in all of Umbria — that "Where do I start?" was in fact my first reaction when I started writing this webpage.

So:

• if you like a challenge, start here (before clicking on anything else on this page).

• to find out about the saint whose church you're in, this is a good place.

• The Roman stuff (a monumental inscription and a milestone) is here.

Finally, the photo to your left is a clickmap: zoom in on the details.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)

Thanks to the Pinacoteca Civica di Spello

for opening to the general public all the minor churches and monuments in town as part of their excellent Aug 1997 program, "Viviamo la nostra città";
for staffing each of them with student guides, often enthusiastic and sometimes very knowledgeable;
and for providing careful fact sheets, authored by Stefano Felicetti and Giulio Proietti Bocchini, from which I drew much of the detailed information you see here about this church.
