Corchiano. Church of the Madonna del Soccorso

The church of the Madonna del Soccorso in Corchiano dates from the fifteenth century and has a special feature.

In front of the facade, on a pedestal, there are four columns of lava stone that probably formed an access porch.

The central portal is finely decorated and the interior has three naves with trussed ceiling.

The nave ends with an altar in baroque style and in the right aisle is the Chapel of Paradise with frescoes of the life of the Virgin painted by Lorenzo, Bartolomeo and Alessandro Torresani.
