In Bassano Romano, the church of St. Mary of the Assumption was built in 1703 on a previous Romanesque chapel.
The facade is made of local stone with a statue of the Virgin on the roof and two small lateral bell towers topped by globes and Latin crosses.
The interior has a Latin cross plan, and here lies the small stage where the Giustiniani prayed.
The relic, enclosed in a silver bust, and the head of the Patron Saint Gratiliano, a Roman who was martyred after his conversion to Christianity.
The interior has a single nave, with a barrel vault.
On the back wall is a nineteenth century painted wooden choir stall and an organ dating back to the early eighteenth century.
