Church of San Michele

This church, now deconsecrated, hides, behind an eclectically assembled façade, two tabernacles: the one on the left for the custody of the Holy Oils dates back to around the mid-16th century, the one on the right, used for the custody of the Eucharist, is attributable to Mino de Reame or his school (mid-15th century).

At the entrance, a Roman funerary altar from the Flavian era, artistically decorated, serves as a holy water stoup.

Inside the church are housed the Scenic Machines of Luciano Minestrella, Artist and former stage director at the Teatro Argentina, a skilled craftsman whose collection presents amazing machines such as those designed by Brunelleschi, and recreated based on the stories of Vasari;

Here, between two uprooted and suspended trees, leaning against the front and back walls of the church, Minestrella’s scenic machines, which in a previous season of his career were the living body of his shows, become installations
