Veroli. Church of the Madonna of the Angels and Cona di San Mauro

The small country church of Madonna degli Angeli was built in Veroli around a medieval image.

The image represents a breast-feeding madonna who was in a niche or 'Cona di San Mauro'.

The niche had been built on the spot where Santa Maria Salome, San Biagio and San Demetrio had stopped when just arrived in Veroli.

Here they had met Mauro with whom they had then begun to spread Christianity.

The church has a simple plastered façade with a gabled roof and a small lateral sail belfry next to the building.

The door has a square stone frame and two small side openings.

A circular opening completes the decoration of the façade.

The interior is a single room with beautiful frescoes of the fifteenth century made by Antoniazzo Romano in which you can see the four saints of history (Santa Maria Salome, San Biagio, San Demetrio and San Mauro), a breastfeeding Madonna and the Father who blesses.
