Corchiano


Inhabitants 3003

The church of San Biagio, dating to the second half of the fifteenth century, has a lovely cycle of votive frescoes. They were done in around 1468 by Lorenzo da Viterbo and his students, among whom we can easily distinguish the distinctive personality of the Corchiano Master. The various subjects depict St. George and the dragon, the Nativity, the Annunciation, the Madonna with Child between two angels bearing torches and Saints Blaise and Anthony Abbott, and Saints Sebastian and James. Among the other frescoes, the figures of St. Blaise enthroned and two bishop saints, attributed to Antonio da Viterbo, are noteworthy.

Just outside town, the church of Madonna del Soccorso, dating to the end of the fifteenth century, has a fresco by the Torresani brothers depicting the apparition of Our Lady to a newly-wed couple. Other churches worth mentioning include Sant'Egidio, Santa Maria delle Grazie and Sant'Antonio.
