Pescosolido. Church of Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist

This is ancient church of Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Pescosolido damaged and rebuilt several times.

It now looks like a late Baroque building, and inside there are frescoes and mosaics by contemporary artists that depict scenes from the life of the two saints.

You can admire some valuable paintings such as the Baptism of Christ of 1778 attributed to Gaspare Capricci and the Madonna of the Rosary by Marco Mazzaroppi in the late sixteenth century.

A distinctive architectural feature is the large staircase in front, also rebuilt several times.
