Church of Our Lady of Mercy

This small church is located along the road that leads from Servigliano to Monteleone di Fermo. Its peculiarity can be found inside: the entire left wall is completely frescoed with a work by Orfeo Presutti depicting the Universal Judgement. A well-preserved fresco of 1548 of 21.45 square meters, 3.3 meters high and 6.5 meters long, which without too much censorship shows what happens to sinners who end up in hell, and they are not nice things! The church actually has two names: the Crucifix, because of the ancient crucifix in fig wood that was in the altar on the left, and the Madonna della Misericordia, in honor of the fresco located on the high altar. Moreover, in the surrounding countryside it is possible to see the "vulcanelli", a phenomenon of secondary volcanism which has intensified with the recent earthquake.
