Description:
Situated in the neighborhood of Sant’Antonio. During the war, the Germans destroyed the small church. The statue of Saint Anthony was in a niche that miraculously remained intact. The mason Antonio Fedele, il Biondo (the blonde one) was given the task of rebuilding the church; he finished it in 1960. There are 4 stained glass windows representing the Evangelists and one high up behind the altar symbolizing the bread and wine; these are all the creations of the artist Federico Tamburi. There are 2 others made time ago on the sides of the altar; they depict Saint Anthony and Mother Mary, both with Child Jesus.
