A wide interior view of the Chapel of the Stigmata at the Franciscan Sanctuary of La Verna, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy, on April 9, 2026, shows the spatial relationship between the 15th-century inlaid wooden choir stalls, the polychrome geometric tile floor, and the monumental della Robbia glazed terracotta altarpiece filling the apse. Fresh flowers adorn the white marble altar inscribed ''Deus Meus et Omnia,'' while a circular mixed-rose wreath marks the floor plaque of the stigmatization site. The absence of visitors and the soft directional light highlight the chapel's concentration of Renaissance sacred art within a space of continuous active devotion since the 13th century.
