CHIESA DI TUTTI I SANTI

Another very old church in Bomerano is the one named All Saints, to which the archbishop of Amalfi, Angelo Pico, donated around 1640 the relics of Saints: Francis Xavier, Ignatius, Filippo Neri, Abbondio, Ponziano, Severino, Candido, Giusto, Fausto, Placido, Concordo and Platilla. Scarce and fragmentary are the documents concerning the foundation and evolution of the church named after All Saints. It would seem to have already existed in the second half of the 15th century, when there was probably a chapel or small church where the Virgin was worshipped. From the time of its alleged origin, dated around the 15th century due to the discovery of a fragment of a fresco, which about two centuries later was preciously recovered and preserved, there is no evidence until the 19th century. The creation of the wooden roof, and other interventions related to it, can be attributed to that century. Recently, a restoration has been completed that has enhanced the building in its entirety. In 1709 the church's property was administered by 4 lay governors elected one for each hamlet ob devotionem Universitatis, which had the patronage.
