Chiesa di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria

The church is reached by climbing a few quick steps at the end of which a square off when a handkerchief starts at the entrance. The Church of St. Catherine of Capodirigo, inventories dependency Lateran figure founded by Massari of the villa in 1412 on the ground of the Canons of St. John Lateran. The interior of the Church is built by Mastro Antonio Zannis and Mastro Jacobo Johannis. Backs onto the apse there is a large wooden altar almost until the time; a little further on the altar of travertine to celebrate functions. To the right a curtain covering the entrance to the sacristy. On the wall nearly opposite the entrance there is a fresco, of good quality, the Lady standing holding her child, two angels kneeling at her skirts and the side of St. Sebastian and St. Rocco. The portal of the Church of St. Catherine is a beautiful Gothic portal in tuff and inscribed a long interesting conversation between the king crowned offering a basket of apples and the archer, (death) ready to shoot the dart. The Latin inscription says by the mouth of the King: “O death accept gold and silver, and give me life.” The archer in place in firing the arrow responds: “I do not accept neither gold nor silver but I do what is right.” Life, the king; death, the archer. The two figures are based on the Harpies and the supreme head of the Lord.
