16th-century church attached to the convent of the Reformed Franciscans, with the Baroque statue of the Madonna much venerated in Buccino.

The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie is part of the complex of the Reformed Franciscans of San Francesco, once the most important convent in the area. Its layout dates back to the 16th century, and the building was restored after the damage of the 1980 earthquake, which struck the whole area hard.Inside it holds the Baroque statue of the Madonna, to which the people of Buccino are deeply attached. The side aisles house minor altars and niches with statues of saints. We like it as a place where the town's devotion is strongly felt: we recommend combining it with a visit to the historic centre and the remains of ancient Volcei.
