Maiori, Italy, Ponteprimario

*Ponteprimario*


Going up from the burgh of S. Maria delle Grazie, the visitor finds the small burgh of Ponteprimario, which borders with the Tramonti valley. The church which dominates this small village is the Church dedicated to the Madonna del Principio (the Madonna of the Beginning), which dates back to the seventh century. The recently renovated church has been rebuilt many times following the floods which through the years have upset the entire territory of Maiori. What remains of the original structure can be found in the crawl space under the present pavement, and on the left side of the open area in the front of the church, where the arch of an ancient Apse bearing the fresco of a flower can still be seen.
