A church founded in 1585, known to everyone as Sant'Antonio, with rich Rococo stucco decoration and inlaid marble altars.

Dedicated to the Madonna delle Grazie, this church is known to everyone as Sant'Antonio, a sign of a devotion that is still very much alive here. It was founded in 1585, but what we see today is largely the result of 18th-century works, when the building was covered in lively Rococo decoration.We like the animated stucco work that runs across the façade and along the single-nave interior. We recommend looking at the side altars in inlaid marble and the 18th-century canvas of Christ Crucified between the Virgin and the mourners. Next to the church there is still a Franciscan convent.
