Bastia di Mondovì: Saint Florence's Chapel


The cycle of frescos in this chapel is one of the most important and vast in Piedmont. The frescos cover a surface of 326 metres and date back to 24 June 1472, even if there are traces of paintings under the XV century's ones that date back to XIV century.
Now the position of the chapel is different from the ancient one. The primitive church had his main portal in west side near the street that was next to Tanaro river. On the exterior wall, you can see the picture of Saint Christofer that points out the position of the ancient portal of this church, built up along a pilgrims and wanderer's way
