Church of Santissima Immacolata
The Chisea della SS. Immacolata is located in the town of Stalettì, a small town in the province of Catanzaro. It is arranged almost parallel to another church, of recent bill and dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary, which has inherited its functions since ours is closed to worship and performs other functions, certainly not the one for which it was built, i.e. it is the meeting point of many young people in the country for leisure activities. It has a single nave with a barrel vaulted roof and a square apse with a lowered domed roof. The altar is made of polychrome marble with the statue of the Immaculate Madonna in the center. On the right there are two doors: one to the sacristy and one to the bell tower. The choir is located above the entrance and can be reached via a small staircase. The church takes light from three side windows plus one over the main door. In the middle of the barrel vault, above the nave, there are three frescoes depicting saints

Many Italian churches are dedicated to the Mother of God Mary and thus have a "SANTA MARIA" (sometimes increased to "SANTISSIMA") in their name. This church in Staletti has the addition "IMMACOLATA", so it is dedicated to the "Immaculate Conception" of the Mother of God.
This term, which today may sound a bit theoretical and difficult to understand, is intended to say that the Mother of God was freed from the beginning by the grace of God from the burden of original sin - which otherwise every human being carries within themselves. This meant that when the archangel later announced to her in Nazareth that she would give birth to the Son of God, she was willing to answer YES of her own free will.
In 1854, Pope Pius IX elevated this article of faith to dogma. The feast for this occasion – and at the same time the patron saint of this church – which in the Catholic liturgy is called “Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary” is celebrated annually on December 8th.
