The Church of Our Lady of Suffrage, the first half of the fifteenth century, was the seat of the "Music of the Suffrage Society", founded in 1685. The Brotherhood gathered the richest owners of the sheep country, with bequests and donations, made possible the creation of valuable works of art. The church has always been tied to the rhythms of the pastoral world, in fact, on July 2, when the shepherds returned to their country, the seventeenth-century statue of Our Lady of Suffrage was carried in procession to the church of S. Mark the Evangelist. On September 8, then, before leaving for Puglia, the shepherds reported the statue in his usual residence.
