Church of San Giusto in San Maroto – Pievebovigliana (Macerata)


In the hamlet of San Maroto stands the Church of San Giusto which was founded between the 11th and 12th centuries and is considered one of the most important Romanesque monuments in the region. Its particular architecture with a circular plan, of clear Roman-Byzantine derivation with four lateral apses and surmounted by a dome built without support ribs (support structure), was the object of studies at an international level so much so that for its realization it is supposed operated workers from the East and in particular from Syria. Inside, with a central plan, there are frescoes and tables dating from the 14th and 15th centuries and a processional cross from the first half of the 16th century made by the goldsmith Tobia da Camerino. Here is also preserved a panel depicting the Madonna del Rosario attributed to Venanzo da Camerino and a Madonna enthroned with Child from the second half of the 13th century. The bell tower, built later together with the sacristy, preserves frescoes dating back to the end of the fourteenth century.
