In the south nave is the Cappella del Santo Sacramento which houses a famous polyptych by Carlo Crivelli from 1473. This painted panel incorporated wood, painting, gold and jewels; some of which were removed by

To the north of the altar area is a chapel with a large ceramic panel that commemorates people martyred for their faith. This panel covers an entire wall and the use of colors and symbols is an enchanting blend. It is interesting in that there are martyrs portrayed representing both the Catholic and Protestant faiths.
In the crypt below the church the remains of San Emidio are entombed

Ascoli’s Duomo is a jewel befitting this provincial capital.

I have a Girl Scout Troop in Elkhart IN, near the University of Notre Dame. In Feb., we have an event called Thinking Day. Our girls picked Italy for their country but are having a hard time finding out what a typical day is like for a 6-9 year old in Italy. Common everyday food, games, school, and what kids do in their free time. I was wondering if you could help us out? michelle.woods3@gmail.com
Michelle, I have asked another expat who is in Tuscany and has a school age child to contact you directly. We have no children and do not know any locals with children in this age group.
