| The church of St. Giovanni belonged to the Order of Jerusalem who was in the town thanks to an ecclesiastic benefit. It belonged to the hospital founded by a neapolitan nobleman, Erberto Mirelli. At the end of XVIth century the hospital closed down. Thanks to Fra’ Domenico Recco, Commendatore of the Order of Jerusalem, the small church, that it is close to many houses, was rebuilt. On the top of the façade ( with one style) there is a stone cross. Above the front entrance there is a circular window. On the right side, there is the bell tower. Nowadays, only a stone altar does remain. All its works of art, such as the painting of “Virgin Mary and Child” , were stolen |
