In one of the wonderfully told stories about the two protagonists, "Don Camillo and Peppone," conceived by the Italian writer Giovanni Guareschi, the Virgin Mary also plays a role. Peppone's youngest son is very ill, and so one evening the communist mayor goes to the church with five large candles. Don Camillo intends to place them before the crucifix on the high altar, but Peppone objects and wants the candles placed by the chapel of the Virgin Mary: "That one belongs to your party. Light them in front of that one over there, who doesn't engage in politics." After he leaves, Don Camillo—who, as always, is conversing with the crucified Christ—pray earnestly to "not be harsh with him." The dialogue continues: "And why should I?" whispered Christ. "By honoring my mother, he fills my heart with gentleness. I only dislike it a little that he called her 'that one over there.'" Don Camillo shook his head. “You misheard,” he objected. “He said, ‘Light them all up before the Holy Immaculate Virgin in that chapel there.’” (Giovanni Guareschi in “Five and Five”)

Saint Stephen (Santo Stefano), the patron saint of this church, was one of the first seven deacons of the early Christian community in Jerusalem and the first martyr of early Christianity. The Church commemorates him on the second day of Christmas, December 26. When Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, loudly proclaimed his vision of heaven opening – “But when he looked up into heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55) – the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
