The church was built in a Romanesque-style during 1072-1104 patronized by the Byzantine emperor Michele VII Ducas.[1] Agnani served as the summer residence of the Popes in the 12th and 13th centuries. Bernard of Clairvaux (1174) and Clare of Assisi (1255) were canonized at the cathedral.[2] Frederick Barbarossa was excommunicated here in 1160 by Pope Alexander III.[3]
Interior
The interior is in a Gothic-Lombard style after the refurbishment in 1250. The interior pavement (1231) was set in cosmatesque mosaic. The interior lunette over the main portal depicts the Madonna and child between Saints Magno and Secondina (late 13th century). The ciborium on the main altar was completed by Vassalletto in 1267.[citation needed] The frescoes of the apostles on the apse walls were painted in the 17th century by Borgogna. While the frescoes in the half-dome apse with was completed in the 19th century by Giovanni and Pietro Gagliardi.
There is a wooden triptych of the Saviour in the right nave.[4]
Crypt
A stairwell on the left side of the church descends to the crypt. It is dedicated to St Magnus, the patron saint of Agnani. During the episcopate of Pandulf from 1237 until 1256, the walls were covered with frescoes depicting biblical scenes, many now severely damaged. Likely a number of artists worked in the crypt, including followers of Pietro Cavallini. Behind the altar, below a depiction of Christ and the Madonna is a depiction of St Thomas and other bishops. Other altars are dedicated Saints Secondina, Aurelia, and Neomisia; an altar dedicated to Holy Martyrs; and finally an altar dedicated to Bishop Pietro da Salerno and the Holy Virgin Oliva. The mosaic pavement was completed by the Cosma family in 1231.[5] A narrow passageway leads to the oratory of St Thomas Beckett, also frescoed.
