Ave Gratia Plena, Piedimonte Matese, Medieval church in Piedimonte Matese, Italy
The Ave Gratia Plena church features a 32-meter long interior with a central nave adorned by five frescoes depicting the Immaculate Queen of Angels.
Originally built in the 9th century, the church received parish status in 1417 and underwent major structural modifications during the early 1600s.
The wooden statue of the Immaculate Conception, created in 1763 by Neapolitan artist Gennaro d'Amore, remains central to local religious traditions.
The church bells, weighing 1600, 400, and 150 kilograms respectively, can be heard within a 4-kilometer radius across Piedimonte Matese.
The church houses an organ from 1750 containing 943 pipes, which survived World War II damage and underwent complete restoration.
