What to see in the church

In the sacristy there is a valuable wooden crucifix; at the back of the church is a fresco of the crucifixion from the second half of the 16th century, certainly painted over earlier frescoes.

On the opposite side is the canvas of St. Bartholomew the Apostle and the Marriage of the Virgin, commissioned by Don Giuseppe Taddei of Casigliano (link a PDI) in 1747. The other bishop depicted is, in all probability, St. Blaise to whom a church, now disappeared, was dedicated in the vocabolo that still bears his name between Casteltodino and Acquasparta.
