Arpino. Church of Madonna delle Grazie

The Madonna delle Grazie church is located at the entrance of Arpino and has a Baroque style.

It is mentioned in a document of 1463 that concerns the pact signed between Pope Pius II, the Aragonese and the Angevins that quotes the "Ecclesiae Sanctae Marie Graziarum extra muros terre Arpini".

The building was renovated in the eighteenth century with a great door and staircase at the entrance giving importance and airiness to the church.

On the altar there is a picture of the Madonna delle Grazie by the Neapolitan painter A. Russo.
