The church of Santa Maria del Soccorso is located in Montelanico at the foot of the village near the river Rio.
It owes its name to the discovery of a painting of the Virgin of the fifteenth century.
Legend has it that the icon was found by a farmer while ploughing his field.
On the site of the discovery initially a chapel was erected before then being enlarged and transformed into a church in 1636.
