The Church of San Francesco, with the adjoining convent then dedicated to the S. della Concezione, was built in 1619 at the behest of Baron Vito Sicomo. Damaged by the earthquake of 1968 and subsequently restored, it was reopened to the cult of devotees in the early 90s. The convent in the second half of the 19th century was expropriated by the Municipal Administration and part of the premises were used as the seat of the town hall, as they are today. Following the earthquake of 1968, the entire vault of the church fell, causing the destruction of the original altars. The portal of the ancient facade is in tuff with Corinthian capitals pilasters. Today the church of San Francesco, seat of the Madrice San Vito parish since the late 1990s, houses the artistic launch of the SS. Crucifix, a simulacrum that on the first Sunday of September is carried in procession together with San Vito Martire, patron saint of Vita.
