San Francesco, Terni
The church of San Francesco is a medieval Roman Catholic church in Terni, Umbria, in Italy.
A church at the site we originally built in the 13th-century, in a simple single nave and transept as was typical of Franciscan order churches. The design was once attributed to frà Filippo da Campello. In the 14th-century the Paradisi chapel was built, which houses the frescoes by Bartolomeo di Tommaso of Foligno. The frescoes depict The Last Judgement with scenes of Paradise, Hell, and the seven major sins. The bell tower was built in the 16th century and is decorated with majolica tiles.[1]
Also in the church is an Adoration of the Magi by Cesare Sermei, and frescoes of the Story of the True Cross (1575) by Sebastiano Flori of Arezzo, a pupil of Giorgio Vasari.[2]
