The church of Divine Love is located along one of the main streets of Montefiascone, Via Cavour, around which the historic centre was constructed.
The church was called San Giovanni in Borgo or Santa Maria della Potenza but is known as the church of Divine Love.
In fact, it originally was part of the Monastery of Divine Love that was run by the Augustinian nuns.
The convent was first a cloistered centre and today it is a religious training centre.
The church was renovated in the eighteenth century.
The façade is completely located between the other buildings and is barely noticeable.
The interior is a Latin cross plan with a single nave and a dome at the center and is richly decorated with polychrome marble.
The church is enriched with numerous works and an altar with four columns supporting a large decorative element with gilded stuccos.
And a nineteenth century canvas depicting the Virgin on a cloud with angels and the saints Agostino, Ignazio, Francesco di Sales and Benedetto Giuseppe Labro who all adore her.
