Albugnano - Abbazia di Vezzolano
Legends connect the foundation of the Abbazia Santa Maria di Vezzolano to Charlemagne. It does date back to the eighth century and got destroyed in the 10th century by the Saracens.
The complex was rebuilt until 1189 and is documented as an Augustinian monastery from 1095. It was a seat of a community until the 19th century, when it was suppressed during the Napoleonic invasion of Italy.
-
The façade is elaborately decorated.
The large mullioned window has the figure of Christ in the center flanked by the two archangels Michael and Raffaele. Above the mullioned window are two angels holding candles. Higher up there are two seraphim (with six wings). At the peak, in a niche is a bust depicting probably God the father.
A tympanum is over the portal.
