The Church of San Patrizio, originally built at the end of the 16th century next to Porta Marina, was demolished in the 19th century and rebuilt a little further north, where it still welcomes worshippers and visitors today. Always regarded as the ‘church of the people’, it was consecrated on September 10, 1893.
In 1924, it was enriched by a bell tower, built thanks to the contributions of veterans of the Great War, while two years later Aristide Bernardini donated the bells. The interior houses works of great artistic value: an altarpiece from the 18th century depicting the Madonna with Child, San Bartolomeo, San Patrizio, and San Giuseppe; the painted semi-dome by Luigi Fontana, with San Patrizio blessing the village; stuccoes and decorations by his pupil Niccolò Achilli; and a 17th-century painting of Sant’Antonio da Padova by an anonymous author.
