Guardia Sanframondi church with a Rococo interior, gilded stucco by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro and a vault frescoed by Paolo De Matteis.

In Guardia Sanframondi stands the Church of San Sebastiano, which began as a simple confraternity chapel and was renovated several times in the 16th and 17th centuries. After the 1688 earthquake it was rebuilt in the form we see today. The exterior is sober and undecorated, but don't be fooled: the interior holds a real surprise.The single nave, with four arches on each side, is a Rococo triumph: the gilded stucco work is by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro and the vault is frescoed by Paolo De Matteis, a pupil of Luca Giordano. We like the altars in inlaid polychrome marble and the carved wooden altar of the Pietà, as well as the altars of the Flight into Egypt, St Michael and the Madonna della Neve.
