A church founded by the Dominicans in the 16th century in Soccavo, renovated several times, holding an old panel of the Madonna delle Grazie.

In the Soccavo district this church recalls the ancient origins of the hamlet: it was in fact founded by the Dominicans in the 16th century. Over time the building has been altered several times, first in 1830 and then in the early 20th century, when it took on the appearance we still see today.Its most precious treasure is a 16th-century panel with the Madonna delle Grazie, to whom the church is dedicated. The painting has been retouched many times over the centuries, but remains the heart of local devotion. We recommend a stop if you are passing by: it is a small fragment of the district's oldest history.
