Built between 1734 and 1745 to a design by architect Benedetto Margariti da Manduria, the Church of the Scolopian Fathers of Alatri is a specimen of 18th-century art that fascinates with its complexity and beauty.<\/p>\n
The building, dedicated to the Marriage of the Virgin, features a typically Borrominian architectural scheme and a travertine facade decorated with a wide tympanum and a single entrance portal, reflecting the aesthetics of eighteenth-century art.<\/p>\n
The interior of the church, characterized by a Greek-cross plan and covered by a large hemispherical dome, houses works of art of considerable interest. Prominent among these are the 18th-century paintings by Benedetto Mora and Carmine Spinetti, including the majestic high altarpiece depicting the Marriage of the Virgin.<\/p>\n
The side altars include a fine painting depicting the Crucifixion and an 18th-century work depicting St. Joseph Colasanzio, founder of the order of the Scolopians. Finally, do not miss the painting in the sacristy of the Caravaggio school depicting St. Jerome.<\/p>\n
