Description
The Church of San Giovenale, in the hamlet of Logna, fronted by a portico, appears as a whole to be a reconstruction from the 15th or early 16th century, but its origin is certainly much older.
The wall of the façade and the interior were almost entirely frescoed in the 16th century by local masters. The saints depicted (St. Giovenale, St. Rita), the popular character of the frescoes and the presence of the names of the commissioning parties allow this decoration to retain the significance of this votive feat in which numerous families of the small community were involved. It was discovered starting in 1911 and handed down to us almost in its entirety.
In the 17th century, the interior was enriched by altars and canvases. On the high altar, is a large temple-shaped tabernacle held up by sphinxes similar to that of the collegiate church of Santa Maria in Cascia, work of Francesco Piergentili. Madonna with child, wood polychrome statue. Rich sacristy furnishings, including the reliquary of St. Giovenale (15th century) in gold-plated copper.
