Santa Maria del Piano (1483)

This church was also built on the site of an aedicule containing a venerated image of the nursing Madonna and Child with saints.  It is so-named because it stands in the plain below Narni.

The campanile to the right can be seen from the cemetery.

Inside, the nave has a barrel vault, and a single side chapel on the left.  The presbytery is elevated, presumably over a crypt.

Madonna del Latte with saints (early 15th century)

This fresco of the Madonna del Latte with SS James and Catherine of Alexandria, which is attributed to the Maestro di Narni del 1409, is probably the image for which the church was built.  It is now above the high altar. 

Madonna and Child with saints (15th century)

This fine fresco by a follower of Pinturicchio, which depicts the Madonna and Child with SS Antony of Padua and Jerome, was rediscovered under plaster in the right aisle.  The Child blesses with His right hand and holds a small bird in His left hand.

Madonna and Child with St Ansanus (late 15th or early 16th century)
This fresco is attributed to a follower of Pier Matteo d’ Amelia.  [Where ??].
