We knew the monastery was off to the left
And thought that it was naturally closed.
What we didn’t know was any piece of the story
About the Church of Saint Ponziano, the Martyr.
Part of it had to do with a medieval earthquake,
Which led to the raising of the modern church.

-
- A piece of the modern, seen here
Below ground level, in the crypt, the first church,
Which has a much more elemental feel to both of us.
Along with a series of frescoes to marvel at.
