Middle Ages

The Middle Ages in Abruzzo are documented by an exceptional collection of Madonnas, unmatched in terms of richness and artistic quality at home and abroad: some extremely rare and precious 13th-century painted icons (Madonna “de Ambro”, Madonna di Sivignano, Madonna di Montereale), and numerous wooden sculptures; majestic and sacred Romanesque-Byzantine icons dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries (Madonna di Lettopalena, Madonna delle Concanelle); slender and sinuous 14th-century icons, which reveal the spirituality and grace of the new Gothic art in the sweetness of their faces and the refinement of their lines (Madonna di Fossa, Madonna di San Silvestro).
