18th-century church in the Casali district of Faicchio, parish of the outlying districts, reopened for worship in 2020 after restoration.

In the Casali district of Faicchio, the Church of Ave Gratia Plena is the parish of the Casali, Caldaie and Macchia districts. A church of the Annunziata is already mentioned in 1596, but in another place: the present building dates from 1737, perhaps enlarging an earlier structure, and in the following decades it was extended to take on its current appearance.We admire the tenacity of this community: declared unsafe after the 1980 earthquake, the church reopened in 1991 and, after a new restoration between 2017 and 2020, it was returned to worship on 18 September 2020. We recommend combining the visit with a walk in the surroundings, where you will find the remains of the ruined churches of San Lorenzo and San Martino.
