Lazio Rieti Rieti S. Agostino1. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Medieval: Architecture, sculpture, painting. The church dates from the 13th century, and still possesses two gothic portals. The main portal, of the 14th century, contains a semicircular tympanum within which is a fresco of the Madonna and Child with S. Augustine and S.

The other medieval portal on one of the transept arms is less elaborate than the main portal, consisting of double-arcaded windows and a central round window above. Post-medieval: Architecture, sculpture, painting. The interior of the structure dates from the Baroque period (end 17th century). In a left side chapel is a cycle of frescoes dating from the 16th century, depicting Christ blessing. In a right side chapel is a cycle of scenes from the life of S. Augustine, dating from the 17th century. Above the altar of the left transept arm, is a painting of the Ecstacy of S. Rita da Cascia, by Lattanzio Niccoli (1634). In the right transept arm is a depiction of the Massacre of the Innocents, by Ludovico Carosi (1712). Another side altar contains a painting of the Madonna and child with saints by Giovanni Giacomo Pandolfi (1599). German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and monument.
