Visciano - Santa Pudenziana

Visciano is a rural settlement about 8kms south of Narni, so small, that this church often is named "Santa Pudenziana of Narni". Maybe the hamlet, located near an ancient Roman road, had some (meanwhile forgotten) importance thousand years ago.

Not much is known about this church. Most scholars date the building to the 10th or 11th century. It was built, using recycled materials coming from other roman and paleochristian edifices in area.

It is characterised by a high belfry tower, raised on the remains of a smaller original tower dated around 7th/8th century.

In winter sunset is pretty early in Umbria - and then it often got really foggy.
