The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Sant'Arcangelo Trimonte, rebuilt after the 1962 earthquake, holds the statue of the Madonna di Tignano.

The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore was founded around 1500, outside the walls, by the Schiavoni (Slavs) who repopulated the area. In the early 20th century it was enlarged with the aisle of San Rocco thanks to emigrants in America; the 1962 earthquake badly damaged it and it was rebuilt on the same site in modern forms.Today we see it with a single nave and an imposing bell tower on the east side. We like the fact that diocesan registers list it as a mitred abbey. Inside is the wooden statue of the Madonna della Misericordia, known as the Madonna di Tignano, recently restored: we recommend stopping to look at it.
