City of Andrano - The Dominican Fathers’ Convent
Channel: Città aperte in rete
Date: 2018-02-08

The Convent, built in honor of St. Mary of Grace (Santa Maria delle Grazie) and then cared by the Dominican fathers in 1561, is on Via di Mezzo. On four steps, it has a little house on its left, which ends at an angle on Vicolo Antonio Saraceno. In this alley once there was a bookshop whose door allowed access to the sacristy. The pediment, beautiful and sober at the same time, is adorned by two fake colonnades wisely decorated on the capitols, ending with a medium-height railing,  decorated with another section similar to the one below, but dinstinct only in a central rose window ; it is adorned on its top by a stone sculpture similar to a crown.
