Acquarossa - San Carlo di Negrentino

nobody@ipernity.com (Martin M. Miles) — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 09:14:04 +0000

The church "San Carlo di Negrentino", originally dedicated to S. Ambrogio Vecchio, is located isolated facing a cliff that opens onto a vast panorama. A mule track led here from the Gotthard Pass over the Narapass to the Blenio Valley and to Bellinzona led past here near a deep gorge.

The two-aisled church is first mentioned in writing in 1214 but goes back to an earlier time. It was created in two construction phases. The original Romanesque apse hall from the 11th century was probably extended in the 13th century in the south by a similar, but narrower room with a smaller apse. At that time the campanile was built on the north side of the building.

Both aisles of the church are adorned with frescoes. As between the aisles are about 200 years, the styles differ clearly.

The large fresco over the door depicts Archangel Michael and the "Weighing of the Souls".
