点评:The Basilica della Collegiata is a late Baroque church built in the 18th century. The church is also known as Basilica Maria Santissima dell'Elemosina, meaning Basilica of the Holy Mary of Almsgiving because the site was dedicated to the cult of Holy Mary of Almsgiving during the Byzantine era.
Stylistically, the design takes its cue from late Baroque with elements that are so decorative, it verges on Rococo. The façade has two sections, a lower section that is separated from the upper section by a balustrade. The lower section has six Corinthian style composite columns, while the upper section has a triangular shape, embellished with volutes.In addition, there are two niches containing statues Saint Agatha and Saint Apollonia.
Access to the church is via a wrought iron gate, then a steep staircase. The church is a minor basilica and has a floor plan consistent with its status. It’s divided into three naves with eight pillars each. The end of each nave also has an apse, including behind the high altar. Although the apse of the altar is considerably larger and oddly sombre. The ceilings contain frescos by Giuseppe Sciuti. Especially noteworthy are scenes of the Assumption with Mary crowned as queen in heaven
翻译:圣母教堂是一座建于 18 世纪的晚期巴洛克风格教堂。该教堂也被称为 Basilica Maria Santissima dell'Elemosina,意为施舍圣母玛利亚教堂,因为该遗址在拜占庭时期是用来崇拜施舍圣母玛利亚的。
从风格上看,该设计借鉴了晚期巴洛克风格,元素装饰性十足,近乎洛可可风格。立面分为两部分,下部与上部由栏杆隔开。下部有六根科林斯风格的复合柱,而上部呈三角形,饰有涡卷。此外,还有两个壁龛,内有圣阿加莎和圣阿波罗尼亚的雕像。
进入教堂需要通过锻铁门,然后是陡峭的楼梯。该教堂是一座小型教堂,其平面图与其地位相符。它分为三个中殿,每个中殿有八根柱子。每个中殿的末端也有一个后殿,包括高坛后面。虽然祭坛的后殿要大得多,而且奇怪地阴沉。天花板上有朱塞佩·斯丘蒂的壁画。特别值得注意的是圣母升天的场景,玛丽在天堂加冕为女王
