It’s a steep climb up to Chiesa di Santa Maria d’Idris, which is dug into Mount Errone (“the Idris rock”) just above San Pietro Caveoso. A narrow corridor leads through to another church, San Giovanni in Monterrone, which has well preserved frescoes dating back to the 1300s - until a few years ago it was used as a crypt.

The name is Madonna de Irdis. This is one of two churches that are connected, the other being San Giovanni in Monte Errone. This two churches sit high above Sasso Caveoso in a hump of rock. They are beautiful inside with soft light and some beautifully soft frescoes.
