The church of SS. Trinity in Arpino is also called 'the statue of the Crucified' and is owned by the Pesce family. It was built in 1720 by Cardinal Giuseppe Pesce, teacher and rector of the Pontifical Chapel.
The facade is a simple neoclassical style, and the plan is a Greek cross.
The church has been robbed several times over the years but inside on the side walls are stones carved with the symbols of the Holy Trinity.
The altar has a group of sculptures in wood made by Stolz from Alto Adige, who lived for some time and is buried in Arpino.
The walls at the sides have frescoes representing the Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph.
At the centre of the church is a trap door leading to the Pesce family tomb and that was used during the war to bury the dead of plague.
