This church, dedicated to Saint Rita, is remarkable in many ways.

The basilica was only built in the early 1900s (1937-1947) to create a larger church to house the much-visited relics of the former nun, Saint Rita of Cascia, who was canonized in 1931. The facade of the basilica is clad in white travertine from Tivoli. The floor plan is centralized in the form of a Greek cross. Rita of Cascia, born Margherita Ferri Lotti - Mancini (* 1381 in Rome; † May 22, 1457 there) was an Italian widow and Augustinian nun who was venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. With its simplicity, it has penetrated the hearts of millions of believers around the world: all those who are looking for a way to face everyday life, often filled with difficulties, with hope.

The basilica of Santa Rita da Cascia is part of the sanctuary of the same name, a complex that includes various structures, places where the saint lived. Inside the church, in the chapel of Santa Rita, a crystal urn contains the body of the Saint.
