CHIESA MADONNA DI LORETO – Bomerano

CHURCH MADONNA OF LORETO

Dating back to ancient times, the church Madonna di Loreto, Madonna ‘o Rito, venerates a statue of St. Francis of Assisi, to whom is dedicated the feast day of October 4, the day of the festival of castane e ndorze, that is, boiled chestnuts and cobs, On the only altar is a beautiful polychrome terracotta, attributed, with some doubt, to the school of Luca Della Robbia. In ancient times it was the patronage of the family of Vito Antonio d’Acampora and currently entrusted to the care of the Mascolo heirs. The building was radically renovated after the 1980 earthquake.
