点评:St Lorenzo’s church is a lot more ornate inside than you’d think.
Built between 1790 and 1800 and remodelled in 1925, the facade is rather plain and apart from its unusual circular shape, you could easily walk past without paying it the attention it deserves.
Inside, is unexpected.
Most striking is the beautiful white dome, painted in blue, red and gold with a detailed geometric pattern.
A series of frescoes, painted by Ciro Pavisa, depict 5 pivotal scenes from the life of the ancient Roman martyr, San Lorenzo (St Lawrence). Starting from the left, the scenes show the Healing of the Sick, the Treasures of the Church, the Torture on the Grill, the Arrest of Sixtus II and the Exercise of the Ministry.
The most gruesome scene shows St Lawrence after his arrest. He was tortured by being tied across an iron grill and slowly roasted over an open fire. Lawrence, (clearly was a man who could dig deep when needed), famously told his torturers that he wasn’t quite done on one side and they should turn him over.
ENTRANCE:
Entry is free.
The church was damaged is the 2016 earthquakes and was closed for some time . It’s now open but due to ongoing repairs, the entrance is around the right hand side of the church and up the ramp.
翻译:圣洛伦佐教堂内部比您想象的要华丽得多。
建于 1790 年至 1800 年之间,并于 1925 年进行了改建,立面相当朴素,除了它不寻常的圆形外,您可以轻松走过而无需注意它。
里面,出乎意料。
最引人注目的是美丽的白色圆顶,涂有蓝色、红色和金色,并带有精细的几何图案。
由西罗·帕维萨 (Ciro Pavisa) 绘制的一系列壁画描绘了古罗马烈士圣洛伦佐 (圣劳伦斯) 一生中的 5 个关键场景。从左边开始,场景展示了治愈病人、教堂的宝藏、烤架上的酷刑、西克斯图斯二世的被捕和传教士的行使。
最可怕的场景是圣劳伦斯被捕后的情景。他被绑在铁架子上,在明火上慢慢烤。劳伦斯(显然是一个可以在需要时深入挖掘的人)著名地告诉折磨他的人,他的一面还没有完全完蛋,他们应该把他翻过来。
入口:
免费入场。
教堂在2016年的地震中受损,关闭了一段时间。它现在已经开放,但由于正在进行维修,入口位于教堂的右手边和斜坡上。
