Refectory with La Veronica by Strozzi
The vaulted refectory in Monterosso al Mare served as the communal dining hall where Capuchin friars took their meals. It remains the setting for one of the most significant paintings at the site: La Veronica by Genoese painter Bernardo Strozzi. The austere barrel-vaulted ceiling exemplifies the characteristic restraint of Capuchin architecture, lending the space an understated solemnity that reflects the order's values and aesthetic principles.
Crucifixion attributed to Van Dyck
The Crocifissione is a substantial 17th-century oil painting housed in the church of San Francesco dei Cappuccini in Monterosso al Mare, attributed to Flemish painter Antoon van Dyck. The attribution remains disputed; some scholars suggest it may be the work of an anonymous 17th-century Ligurian painter working under van Dyck's influence. Visitors can see this significant work during visits to the church, though its precise authorship continues to spark scholarly debate.
