The church of Our Lady of the Angels in Fumone. church is just outside the village, along the ancient fortified path leading to the fortress.
It was erected in 1743 by Anna Maria Cocchi, of the oldest noble family of Fumone.
Pope Pius VI, with the "Forgiveness" Bull of 1783, invested the church with the cult of plenary indulgence.
The building was erected for the protection of an old 15th century aedicula (wall shrine) representing the Blessed Virgin who holds in her arms the Child Jesus while two angels support the Virgin's crown.
The stuccos framing the fresco were made at the beginning of the twentieth century by the artist Umberto Fiorani.
