Chiesa Degli Ottimati
The Chiesa degli Ottimati, also called Santa Maria Annunziata, is a Roman Catholic church located on Via Castello in the city of Reggio Calabria in the region of Calabria, Italy. History The history of this church is documented as early as the 10th century. The present name derives from a Norman confraternity that rebuilt the church, and dedicated it to the ''Virgin of the Annunciation''. The Ottimati were a congregation of nobles founded by the Normans. Over time, these included the Filocamo, Griso, Altavilla and Borboni. The original layout appears to have been a Greek cross, with multiple domes. The Normans under Roger II, built a church on top, eliminating many of the domes. On September 3, 1594 the church was damaged and burned during a sack of the town by Saracen raiders. In 1597, the church commissioned a new painting of the ''Annunciation'' by Agostino Ciampelli Agostino Ciampelli (29 August 1565 – 22 April 1630) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He tr ...
