A small pink-fronted confraternity church, attached to the 16th-century Madonna delle Grazie and decorated during the 1907 restoration.

In San Marzano sul Sarno we point out a little church born from an older building: the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary leans against the left side of the 16th-century church of the Madonna delle Grazie, where the brotherhood originally met in a chapel. Over time the brothers decided to have a space of their own, while keeping a passage to the neighbouring church.We like its pink façade, divided by fluted pilasters with Ionic capitals and topped by a triangular pediment; at the centre a stucco oval with festoons frames a fresco of the Madonna of the Rosary, now somewhat faded. Inside, the 1907 renovation brought walls and ceiling painted in oils and a marble floor, recorded by a plaque.
