Marches Macerata Montecosaro S. Maria a Pie di Chienti1. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 This early Romanesque basilica (first erected in the 9th century) has a stark exterior, with the exception of the apse which is enlivened by 3 apsidioles and blind windows. Interior views include: a crucifix, ambulatory, terracotta staues of the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin (15th century), and several views of the 14th-century frescoes in the upper church. A marble bust may be S. Claudio and actually be found in the church of S. Claudio al Chienti in Montegranaro. Antiquities: A pluteus, perhaps. Object Notes: H
Marches Macerata Montecosaro S. Maria a Pie di Chienti1. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 This early Romanesque basilica (first erected in the 9th century) has a stark exterior, with the exception of the apse which is enlivened by 3 apsidioles and blind windows. Interior views include: a crucifix, ambulatory, terracotta staues of the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin (15th century), and several views of the 14th-century frescoes in the upper church. A marble bust may be S. Claudio and actually be found in the church of S. Claudio al Chienti in Montegranaro. Antiquities: A pluteus, perhaps. Object Notes: Hutzel photo campaign date: November 19, 1984 General Notes: This monument was previously catalogued as being in the city of Belforte del Chienti. Several prints exist in duplicate. S. Maria a Pie di Chienti should not be confused with S. Claudio al Chienti in Montegranaro, though some prints may be labeled as such. 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.
