Chiesa di Santa Maria in Vivario, Frascati

On a human scale? -or to measure of God? If it may concern, this is Church to solve the dilemma. Early Christian Church for almost centuries in a civic community, delivered before the confessional, that inhabits the most historic centre of Frascati and there comes to Nice number. The nave is covered by a very high prevalence in its gable roof, the two side aisles by a subordinate run-up of agile but more forthcoming vaults. Slender hammered volcanic stone columns, Ionic capitals almost sketched, compensate the tripartition of the classroom in a cultualmente environment spatially and undivided. The Central apse supports the lacunosamente basin painted with an image, saved in the bombardment, a Christ Pantocrator in the Act to impose the right the Royal Crown to Mary and to support with the left firmly seated on a mattress of the book- clouds and scatter by a cloister of Seraphim. Approximate in painting and composition perspective inadequately. The main altar is housed in an elegant Roman sepulchre, willing but incongruous in selcette a Peacock tail. Behind him stands a crucifix so far in front Royal, vivid, and little Golden robe. Slender as in Raphael, lot or Antonello da Messina. The fashion of supplicium, here with horizontal frame in a vertical stipes patibulum briefly soaring: sign of Lordship over the world. In the two lateral apses the altars are obtained by massive Corinthian capitals. Reassuring the Tabernacle of the most familiar tradition: in the apse and perfectly centered on the longitudinal axis of the classroom. The two small original confessionals cashed out along the wall to the left. The overall appearance is of noble linear composure. Only the few unavoidable inconsistencies devotional and suspension lighting complements botanical-alternate between columns, with styles and designs that we can better sort.

Beautiful church of 1200 belonging to the first historical core of frascati. The bell tower is remarkable
