Church in the San Matteo hamlet of Fragneto l'Abate, which holds an 18th-century polychrome wooden statue of the saint.

In the hamlet of San Matteo, in the territory of Fragneto l'Abate, stands the small church dedicated to the apostle and evangelist. Its best-known treasure is a polychrome wooden statue of St Matthew, about one metre sixty tall, made in the 18th century by a Campanian workshop and listed in the cultural heritage catalogue.We like discovering these lesser-known places, where devotion centres on a single sacred image cherished for generations. We recommend combining the stop with a visit to the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, in the village centre, for a short itinerary among the churches of this quiet corner of the Sannio.
