The niche of the Perugino
The Museum of St. Francis contains a precious work, dated 1503, produced by the Perugino during his stay in Montefalco. It's a grandiose fresco
covering the inner wall within an aedicule located on the left of the entrance
to the Church of the Conventual Smaller
Monks. The fresco shows the story the "Nativity", while inside the niche is represented "Eternal in Gloria between two Angels and
Annunciation."
