Baroque High Altar
The Baroque high altar stands as one of the most significant artistic features within the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia in Vernazzo. Completed in 1750, it exemplifies the Baroque renovations that reshaped the church's interior during that period. The altar remains an important piece to see when visiting this historic Ligurian church, showcasing the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of 18th-century religious architecture.
Wooden Crucifix by Anton Maria Maragliano
This wooden crucifix, housed within the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia in Vernazzo, is attributed to Anton Maria Maragliano or his workshop. Maragliano was a renowned Genoese sculptor whose carved wooden works became celebrated throughout the region. The crucifix remains one of the notable artworks you can see during a visit to this modest parish church, which sits at the heart of this picturesque Cinque Terre village overlooking the Ligurian coast.
Tamburini Organ
The Tamburini organ is a two-manual pipe organ with electric transmission, built by the renowned Tamburini organ builders of Crema in 1975. It remains in active use in the parish church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia in Vernazzo, where visitors can appreciate this fine example of Italian organ craftsmanship.
Ábsides medievales
The medieval apses of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia Church form the eastern end of the building and represent its oldest, best-preserved section. Built by the Antelami Masters, these apses date to the original Romanesque structure. The original design included three apses corresponding to the three naves of the basilica plan. During the 19th century, one apse was modified to create the secondary entrance now facing the piazza. What to see here offers genuine insight into Vernazzo's architectural heritage.
