The Church of Santa Maria Assunta of Alviano

We don’t have a certain data of the year of the construction of the building. Thanks to some historical documents, it was possible to discover that in that area, already in 1275, there was a college of canons.

In the sixteenth century it was rebuilded according to what the Lady of Alviano liked to.

Of XV century is the beautiful “Pala dell’Autunno”, an altarpiece that, in oring was a triptych whose lateral branches are preserves, today, togheter with two frescos representative San Giovanni battista and San Sebastiano in the National Museum of Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome.
