Ascoli Piceno - Cathedral

On the east side of the square is the Cathedral of Sant'Emidio, originally an Early Romanesque building, which has been altered several times. The facade is attributed to Cola dell'Amatrice. In the large chapel in the south aisle is an altarpiece by Crivelli (1473). Note: impressive paintings of the Madonna and various apostles and saints are also to be seen. About 1470 the Venetian artist Crivelli settled in Ascoli Piceno and his work had a marked effect on the artistic development of the region.
