Chiesa San GIovanni Evangelista

About

we are in Vacone , in the province of rieti , on the road ss 313 , Dating from the twelfth century , the Parish Church of St. John the Evangelist is located in the area adjacent to the Vacone Castle . Over the centuries this place of worship has undergone profound alterations that modified the original Romanesque architecture . The work of artistic and cultural interest is certainly the triptych in tempera on panel attributed to Marco Antonio Aquili , second son of the more famous Antoniazzo Romano . Placed above the main altar , the work represents three saints very revered in the territory of Vacone : St. Paul the Apostle , St. John the Apostle and Evangelist and St. Stephen's first martyr , accompanied by three scenes respectively which relate to their martyrdom . This table was stolen in the eighties of the last century and restored in 2009 thanks to the Cultural Heritage Protection Unit of the Carabinieri in Florence.
