Sanctuary in Battipaglia where the statue of the Madonna della Speranza is venerated, celebrated every year in early July.

In Battipaglia, the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Speranza is one of the places of worship dearest to the city. At the centre of devotion is the statue of the Madonna della Speranza (Our Lady of Hope), around which the community gathers at festival time. The church is in the care of the Stigmatine fathers, who lead its pastoral life.We like the interior, enriched with gilded decoration and a large organ in the choir loft overlooking the nave; the good acoustics also make it a concert venue. We suggest visiting in early July, when the patronal feast brings the faithful onto the streets and the city gathers around its Madonna.
