The convent of Sant’Anna has many frescoes of the 14th and 15th centuries. These works, especially those depicting meals and the preparation of food were considered particularly significant as commemorations of the lives of the members of this all-female community. The paintings include Allegory of the Cross and Crucifixion by Giovanni di Corraduccio but the monastery is perhaps most famous for being the former home of Raphael’s Madonna di Foligno, which was removed by Napoleon’s men in 1798 and is now on display in the Vatican museum in Rome.
