In the ancient city of Todi, not far from the cathedral, there is a small baroque jewel the Church of the Nunziatina, which happens to be the most beautiful church for me.
.
The 17th-century building is hidden behind a simple facade, but inside the variety of Baroque colours leave visitors amazed. The small space is formed by a single nave with a frescoed ceiling and eight chapels open on the sides. Many artists worked on the original decorated coffered ceiling, of which nothing remains today due to a fire that broke out in 1700.
.
All the decorations visible today, including the gilded stuccos and the decorations with angels, flowers and fruit, recall the Marian iconography. There are also several pictorial works of great value, such as the table inspired by the painting by Veronese, The Wedding at Cana, and a painting by Andrea Polinori, a major painter of the early Baroque in Todi.
