Castelbuono di Bevagna

Castelbuono is a castel and a "frazione" of the "comune" of Bevagna in Umbria, central Italy.

Castelbuono features the walled medieval structure of a castle, two churches and some other buildings. Castelbuono suffered severe demages by the earthquake of 1997. Just Castelbuono is the "Maestà " fresco (14th century), presumed to be by Giovanni di Corraduccio. It shows the "Madonna of the Rose and the Child " venerated by St. Michael Arcangel and St. Stephen, and was later restored by Dino Rosselletti. The restoration of the "Maestà" was initiated by Pro Loco Cantalupo-Castelbuono and financed by Cantalupo's "Sagra della Lumaca" (the festival of the snails).
