The Convent of Sant'Angelo di Pantanelli

The Convent of Sant'Angelo di Pantanelli is 2 Km far from Baschi and it is on the SS 448 road connecting Baschi to Todi. Saint Francis took part in its building in 1216; not far from the Convent there is a cave where the Saint used to live for some time, and the reef on the Tevere river from which Saint Francis talked to fishes.
Some eminent figures have been in the Monastery: Jacopone da Todi, who composed some lauds here, including the very famous "Stabat Mater". Most Baschi's noble families were buried in the Church. In 1973 on the main Altar a marvellous fresco dating back to the XV century was discovered, representing a crucifixion. At Christ's feet there was Saint Francis: it seems that it is one of the earliest portraits of the Saint.
