MAIN ALTAR
"Annunciation" by Antonio Aquili aka
Antoniazzo Romano (about 1435-40/1508)
"The
critical judgment on Antoniazzo Romano was completely reversed compared to the
moment when, at the end of the nineteenth century, he was rediscovered and
described, however, as a conventional follower of the Umbrian school. Today
instead he is considered a painter open to new things, capable of updating and develop
the artistic languages of central Italy, but essentially true to himself, in
connection with the iconic and sacred tradition of the Roman medieval period"
