Church of Santa Maria Assunta, Renaissance church building in Esine, Italy.
Church of Santa Maria Assunta is a Renaissance-style church building in Esine featuring a rectangular nave with a wooden ceiling supported by pointed arches. The interior is decorated throughout with frescoes depicting scenes from Christian faith.
The building originated in the 6th or 7th century but underwent major reconstruction in the late 15th century. The facade was remodeled in 1776, giving it the form it holds today.
The interior walls display extensive frescoes by Giovanni Pietro da Cemmo from 1491-1493, depicting salvation history and religious figures. These artworks shaped how the community expressed its faith through visual storytelling inside the building.
The church is open daily to visitors who wish to examine the architectural elements and artistic works inside. Take time to look closely at the fresco details throughout the space.
The bell tower contains a historic bell from 1535 inscribed with 'Soli Deo honor et gloria, Sancta Dei genitrix ora pro nobis'. This bell has tolled continuously through centuries of life in this town.
