Mother church of Bracigliano, in the hamlet of San Giovanni at the foot of Monte Piesco, heart of the Good Friday rites.

In Bracigliano, the parish church of San Giovanni Battista is the town's mother church. It stands in the hamlet of San Giovanni, nestled on the slopes of Monte Piesco, in an area that also holds other places of faith such as the Franciscan convent and the confraternity chapels.We especially recommend it around Easter: on the morning of Good Friday the sacred mysteries are performed here, followed in the afternoon by the procession through the town's streets. It is a deeply felt moment for the community and a great way to discover the traditions of the Agro.
