The basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli is a Roman Catholic rite church located in Assisi, in the hamlet of the same name, built on a project by Galeazzo Alessi with interventions by Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola starting from the second half of the sixteenth century. It has the dignity of a papal basilica and inside there is the Porziuncola, the chapel where Francis of Assisi gathered in prayer, and for this reason the center of Franciscan spirituality. On top of the facade of the temple stands the statue of the Madonna in gilded bronze modeled by Colasanti and cast by the Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry of Florence.
