| Situated in town near the Pineta, the pine grove park. The Alpine Corps of Torricella decided to build the Church in 1984. The mayor at the time, Engineer Mario Martinelli, got interested in the project and together with a member of the regional council obtained from the region a contribution that helped start the project. In 1988 the Municipality granted a piece of land. In 1989 a construction firm was hired to begin the work with the funds that were available. The Alpine Corps completed the construction itself with volunteer help in 2000. They even managed to build a meeting place for themselves under the Church. Argia di Prinzio, a wonderful painter, was invited to make frescoes on the walls. The inauguration took place in July 2000 in conjunction with the regional gathering of the Alpine Corps under the presence of Marshal Capannoli, their president. The current president of the Alpine Corps of Torricella is Marziale D’Ulisse (manager of the Bar “Penna Nera”). |
