The restorations of St. Ansovino Church in Avacelli – Arcevia (Ancona)
This dissertation retraces the protective actions of the Soprintendenza regarding the monumental church,
with specific reference to the historical and architectural protection, starting from 1932, with the entry
in the list of National Monuments, and, in more recent times, with the Delibera SR-MIBACT-Marche
23/06/2015 n. 61, that includes the annexed rural house.
Besides, through historical documents and old photographs, the contemporary interventions and
restorations of the old church are explained.
From the early 20th
century’s maintenance, carried out in the year 1953, the essay illustrates the important
restorations directed by the Soprintendenza (1959, 1961) and the latest works made by the Parish, whith
which mural paintings and archeological elements had been found, useful for the understanding of the
church’s construction phases.
