Church in the Rione Villa of San Giovanni a Teduccio, linked to an 18th-century apparition of the Madonna della Consolazione.

In the Rione Villa of San Giovanni a Teduccio, devotion to the Madonna della Consolazione stems from an 18th-century story: a Muslim servant of the marquises of Casanova, while lighting a lamp before the Virgin's shrine, had a vision, asked to be baptised and died shortly afterwards.The episode led the faithful to move the image into a small room turned into a church, from which today's parish grew. A tale of popular devotion from the eastern part of the city.
