In the crypt of Saint Emidio, the patron saint of our town and protector against the earthquakes, it is possible to admire a unique prestigious masterpiece. It is a mosaic, created by the artists of the Vatican School, which is visible in the inside of the crypt just above the sarcophagus of the patron saint.
The artists represented the angels’ multitude who keeps the city of Ascoli Piceno, called “città turrita”, city of towers or of hundred towers. In this tale the angels would protect the city of Ascoli and have been protecting it by raising it and taking it away from natural disasters. This popular belief, which has a strong effect on the people from Ascoli, is connected to the belief that the patron saint spared the city from the future earthquakes avoiding any damages. On the contrary the villages and the cities in the neighbourhoods have had many earthquake-related damages. Under the protection of angels and Saint Emidio, the City of Hundred Towers, had no permanent damages to monuments, buildings or people.
