\"Battistero<\/a>

The Baptistery of S. Giovanni<\/p><\/div>\n

The tour starts in Piazza Arringo<\/strong> and from the Baptistery of S.<\/strong> John<\/strong>, an interesting example of Romanesque baptistery<\/strong> in the middle of Italy; the bishop-count of Ascoli Piceno ordered its construction and it conserves three baptismal fount<\/strong> internally. The baptistery is an unique example of Romanesque architecture for its architecture<\/strong> and its symbolism<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The second stage is the crypt of the Church of S. Vittore<\/strong>, an unusual crypt used for peculiar activities; it was embellished with frescoes representing the Stories of S. Eustachio<\/strong>; they were realized by a famous artist in the first half of the XIV century.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Near to Arringo Square, in Tornasacco street<\/strong>, you can visit the Church of S. Gregorio<\/strong>. It shows two classical columns on the facade: the medieval church was an ancient pagan temple<\/strong> during the first century B.C and the first century A.C. In the church you can admire the traces of many frescoes and one of them represents an important event for the town of Ascoli Piceno..<\/em><\/p>\n

\"S.<\/a>

The Church of S. Gregorio, Ascoli Piceno<\/p><\/div>\n

We are visiting the Church of S. Mary Intervineas<\/strong>; once the church was surrounded by vineyards; it is considered a church-fortress and its belfry is disconnected from it.On the belfry you can distinguish a little head. According to tradition it is the head of S.<\/strong> Bigna<\/strong>: legend or reality? In the church a miraculous fresco and an unusual funerary monument are conserved.<\/em><\/p>\n

In Ventidio Basso Square<\/strong> there is the Church of SS. Vincenzo<\/strong> and Anastasio<\/strong>: the Ascolan citizens called this church “the chocolate church” because its facade is composed by panels with a particular use during the medieval period. The belfry of the church was a patrician tower<\/strong>; in the church you can admire an unique crypt: during the medieval period a\u00a0miraculous water<\/strong> was here as tou can understand in the frescoes of the crypt.<\/em><\/p>\n
