San Francesco, Pievebovigliana
San Francesco is a Roman Catholic church and convent located inside the town of Pievebovigliana, province of Macerata, region of Marche, Italy.
History[]
The church was erected in 14th century, but along with the adjacent convent, underwent many reconstructions. Beyond the apse rises a belltower. The church has corner buttresses and has a trussed wooden roof, and has a 19th-century copy of the venerated Crucifix of San Damiano di Assisi. Tradition holds that this church once held the original, but that it was destroyed by a fire in 1892. The church has a single nave with lateral altars. Restorations in the 20th century uncovered frescoes in the apse and nave walls attributed to Cola di Pietro. A fresco depicting the Madonna della Misericordia is attributed to Girolamo Di Giovanni di Camerino.[1]
