From a small votive aedicule it first became a small chapel and finally a church at the behest of the Bitontino people strongly linked to the cult of the Most Holy Virgin. During the celebrations on the last Sunday of August, the statue of the Madonna inside is transferred to Bitonto in the church of San Pietro Nuovo with a cart on which dozens of children sit, announcing the arrival of the statue in the city. On the first Sunday of September, however, the actual celebration takes place with the procession that brings the statue back to the church.
