By 1696, the former convent was listed among the assets in the land registry of Casteldilago. After the Unification of Italy, it became state property and, on December 14, 1881, was acquired by the municipality of Arrone.<\/p><p>The original, simple structure was enriched in the late 16th century with the addition of two altars, decorated with stucco and Mannerist paintings.<\/p><p>On the left wall, remnants of a Madonna and Child from the late 14th century are visible, while the wall behind features a Madonna Enthroned with Child and Praying Donors, along with a head of Saint Anthony of Padua, works dating back to the 15th century.<br \/>The triumphal arch is decorated with remains of the Annunciation, with two niches at its base. To the left is a statue of Saint Anthony Abbot, and to the right, Saint Anthony of Padua.<br \/>In the presbytery, notable frescoes include Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata and Saint Valentine Holding Casteldilago.<br \/>The vaults depict the Evangelist Matthew, while the ribs feature partially preserved floral festoon decorations.<\/p><p>On the right wall, a niche contains frescoes of the Assumption of the Virgin, Saint Michael the Archangel, the Madonna of the Oak, and likely Saint Nicholas or Saint Felix.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A testament to its Franciscan past, the Convent of San Francesco narrates centuries of history and spirituality.
