Chiesa di San Michele
Sciacca, IT
The church of San Michele was founded by Count Guglielmo Peralta in 1371 and rebuilt in the 17th century by Natale Amodeo. The interior, in the shape of a Latin cross divided into three naves, preserves a wooden cross in Catalan Gothic style, a 15th-century marble bas-relief of St. John and Our Lady of Sorrows, painted by Tresca in 1788, a marble baptismal font from 1586 and a silver reliquary monstrance containing two thorns from the crown of Christ. The paintings decorating the church are by Luigi Schittone.
