FRANCESCAN ITINERARY
City of Amelia Tourist Portal
St. Francis, during its continuous pilgrimages in the Umbrian territory, visited both Amelia and some surrounding localities, leaving traces of his enlivening presence and his work. Here in Amelia, the Churc of S.Francesco was built in 1287, to which, in the XIV sec., the Convent of the friars Minors was annexed. Inside the church, on the right, the Chapel of Sant’Antonio hosts the remarkable funeral monuments of the Geraldini family, in particular those of Matteo and Elisabetta by Agostino di Duccio (1477).
Leaving the church, on the right, you can access, through a beautiful Renaissance portal, to the former Collegio Boccarini, which today hosts the Civic Archaeological Museum and Art Gallery “E.Rosa”, where the famous statue of Germanicus can be admired.
