More information

The church - the Chiesa dell'Immacolata Concezione della Beata Maria Vergine ai Minoritelli (The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Minoritelli) - was entirely rebuilt after its destruction in the devastating earthquake of 1693, which explains the motto 'Posuerunt me custodem' - 'They put me here as guardian'
