Our guide gives us a personal tour at the Crypt of the Original Sin. Unfortunately no photos are allowed inside.
The crypt was probably used by shepherds for centuries, but in the 1960's the art world realized that the 9th C. Christian wall paintings were the earliest such paintings in Italy. The painting style is both Byzantine and medieval, innovative, powerful.
