Oratorio di San Pellegrino

The interior walls of the oratory display medieval frescoes arranged in three registers, depicting scenes from Christ's life and San Pellegrino's stories.

Built in 1263 under Abbot Teodino's direction, the oratory received land grants from Charlemagne before being donated to the Farfa Abbey.

The Bominaco Calendar within the frescoes illustrates local agricultural activities and religious festivities through zodiac signs and monthly representations.

The single-nave structure measures 18.70 meters in length and 5.60 meters in width, featuring two stone plutei that separate faithful from catechumens.

The frescoes incorporate elements of traditional Abruzzese clothing, particularly visible in the depiction of the Madonna during the Visitation scene.
