Soncino: the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie – 4 of 5 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
On arriving, at first glance, it appears as a humble country church, but once inside, it is amazing. The walls and vaults are completely covered with splendid frescoes in dazzling colours, depicting moments of religious life. The American art historian Bernard Berenson (Butrimonys, 26.06.1865 - Fiesole, 6.10.1959) called them "one of the most elaborate decorative schemes of the entire Renaissance". |
