    Tips

    The origin of the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà dates back to 1596, but the place had already been used as a votive site for at least a century. In fact, there was a much older votive shrine here, already frequented and venerated by the locals. Not much is known about the origin of this religious site, but a legend tells that in this place the local population managed to defeat a band of brigands who had long tormented the nearby village with raids and plunder, for this reason a celebratory site was built in honor of the Madonna, to thank her for this victory.

      Place rich in history. I recommend going outside of weekends and holidays.
