Annunziata, Venafro

A church dates prior to the mid-1300s, but required rebuilding after the earthquake of 1349, and was completed by 1387, under the patronage of a Confraternity of flagellants.

The facade, with a rounded pediment, has a central portal flanked by two ancient Roman column elements, presumably from the prior temple at the site.

[1] The nave was decorated with stucco by Carlo Giuseppe Tersini and Giovanni Domenico Lorenzi in 1757, and frescoed by Paolo Sperduti.

The second altar has 15th-century alabaster tiles depicting the Kiss of Judas, the Flagellation, Exit to Calvary, the Crucifixion, the Deposition, The Mass at the Tomb, the Resurrection.

The 1st altar on the left has a 16th-century canvas depicting the Mystical marriage of St Catherine.
