It has been a <strong>deconsecrated<\/strong> church since the period of Italy\u2019s Unification and is currently used as a venue for events, shows and conferences. An ancient Convent that stands next to the church was requisitioned by the church authorities after a number of suppressions and now houses a school.<\/p>\n<p>The exterior is <strong>Gothic<\/strong> in style, with a simple facade and a multi-lobed portal. The bell tower, located next to the church, was built in 1741. At the time of its construction, the interior had a single nave with a square apse, surmounted by a trussed roof, like the structure of the other nearby churches of S. Francesco and the current sanctuary of the Madonna di Fatima, the Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Servi.<\/p>\n<p>In 1789, following restructuring work by <em>Andrea Vici<\/em>, the interior underwent numerous alterations and acquired a wholly <strong>neoclassical-style<\/strong>. The church houses numerous valuable works by Umbrian and Tuscan artists, such as the painting by <em>Alessandro Brunelli<\/em> \u201c<strong><em>Assunzione ed Incoronazione della Vergine<\/em><\/strong>\u201d in which typical elements of the painting style of Raphael can be found, a copy of \u201cLa Fuga in Egitto\u201d by <em>Francesco Vanni <\/em>, \u201c<strong>Gloria di San Tommaso da Villanova<\/strong>\u201d a painting inspired by Caravaggio and dated 1662, by an Umbrian painter and \u201cS<strong>an Nicola da Tolentino e storie della sua vita<\/strong>\u201d by <em>Salvio Savini<\/em>. Also by Savini is a frescoed niche depicting \u201cLa Madonna della Spiga\u201d, a painting in the apse dated 1584 and titled \u201c<strong>Madonna in Gloria circondata da San Nicola di Bari, Sant\u2019Agostino, Santa Chiara e da una Confraternita<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cSan Girolamo in preghiera\u201d exhibited on the altar of the sacristy. The work \u201cAscensione<strong> di Cristo\u201d<\/strong> by <em>Nicol\u00f2 Circignani<\/em> is also visible as well as several rococo-style side altars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The church of S.
