Chiesa Collegiata dei Santi Andrea e Bartolomeo

Church of Sant'Andrea, Orvieto

The collegiate church of Santi Andrea e Bartolomeo is a Catholic place of worship in the historic centre of Orvieto , in the province of Terni , located in Piazza della Repubblica; the parish of the same name, belonging to the diocese of Orvieto-Todi, insists on it .

It was restored by the engineer Gustavo Giovannoni in 1926 [2] together with the dodecagonal tower. With this restoration, modern works were inserted into the façade, such as the high reliefs in the lunette of the portal, the stained glass window of the rose window and the majolica and terracotta of the new portico, but this restoration completely cancelled the modifications made in the 1200s - 1300s and in the 1500s .

The church has a Latin cross structure, divided into three naves with a transept and semi-circular apse . The naves are covered with wooden trusses, while the crossing between the central body and the transept is covered by cross vaults supported by beam pillars. The perimeter walls are made of tuff , the floor in marble . The dodecagonal tower which is very similar to the one present in the Abbey of San Severo e Martirio belongs to the church .

Inside there is a Cosmatesque pulpit, a tomb aedicule, the remains of a corpus of frescoes which include works dating back to the 1300s, 1600s and the end of the 19th century . At the centre of the quadrangular apse , on the floor, is the pipe organ , built by the Migliorini brothers in the first half of the 20th century and equipped with 10 registers .

In the crypt there are visible remains of the previous phases of use of the complex, which has already been a place of worship since the Villanovan period . The most notable layer is the upper one, in which extensive remains of floor mosaics belonging to the 6th century are preserved .

The funeral of the actress Anna Marchesini took place in this church on 1 August 2016 .
