Description

The Church of Santo Stefano has a broad gabled façade, reinforced by buttresses, with a 16th-century door. It is located in the hamlet of Nottoria.

The interior has two naves of different widths. In the left nave is a large baptismal font (16th cent.) with a painted door; the altar of St. Francis has a wooden Baroque case and the only known canvas by Jean Lhomme. Nearby is a stucco altar, from the first decades of the 17th century, with a wooden statue of the Madonna and Child (16th cent.) and Saints Lucy and Apollonia, a nativity and two saints in a fresco. At the altar at the back are Saints Peter and Paul at the sides of the Madonna, images from the 17th century. The support for the table and the rare stoup next to this come from the old Santo Stefano, as do the two octagonal columns with Romanesque capitals up against the wall, a style common in the Norcia area (14th cent.).

Between the two naves is a worn down 15th-century wooden statue. In the right have, the main altar has two frescoes from 1618 portraying St. Benedict who holds a model of Norcia and Saint Scholastica; the altar is from 1626 with Saints John the Baptist, Giles Abbot, Aloysius Gonzaga arranged around the central canvas with the Madonna of the Girdle with Saints Joseph, Augustine, Rita of Cascia and Nicholas of Tolentino.
