the chapel of the Madonna delle Accept, located on the border between the town of Rutigliano and the town of Conversano and dating back to 1899. The element that characterizes this shrine, at first sight similar to others located in the area, is the presence of blows accepts present on the sacred icon thrown violently by the owner angry with the Holy Virgin. The man, owner of the chapel, commissioned the construction of this shrine, in honor of the Madonna, so that his wife could miraculously recover from an incurable disease. The long-awaited request was not granted, and his wife died after a few months. This unleashed the anger of the gentleman who, afflicted by the pain of the loss, left ax cuts on his sacred face (from which the shrine takes its name), still visible today on the painted sheet and still speaking witnesses of that heartbreaking act despair.
