Onano. Church of Our Lady of Grace

The church of Our Lady of Grace is the oldest in Onano and was built in the Romanesque period and decorated with frescoes of the Sienese school around 1400.

The coat of arms of the Monaldeschi family was affixed on the facade but was later replaced by a deer during the renovation.

The church was modified several times with additions and renovations.

The desire to enrich the church, led to completion of the fresco of the Madonna with the addition of a number of faces of cherubs.
