PINTORICCHIO IN UMBRIA
Trevi, The San Francesco Museum Complex
Largo don Bosco, 14

Situated half way between Foligno and Spoleto, this city of Roman origin contains notable monuments from both the Roman era and the Renaissance. Next to the church of San Francesco that in 1997 was incorporated into the convent complex that dates back to the XIII century, is the San Francesco Art Collection. Amongst the numerous mediaeval and Renaissance works in the collection, is the Madonna con Bambino benedicente by Pintoricchio. The tavola, long considered unfinished and not an authored piece, has today been re-evaluated and is now accepted as a prototype of the examples in the National Gallery of London and despite some variations, similar to works in the Bufalini collection in Città di Castello.
