The Church of Our Lady of Grace is about 3 km from the village of Fumone on the crossroads between the road that connects Ferentino to Alatri and leads to Fumone.
The church was erected by municipal council resolution of February 15, 1609 to preserve the ancient 14th century aedicula that sat at the crossroads.
The aedicula is shaped like a sail and in the niche there is the fresco depicting the Virgin with the Baby Jesus and the saints Nicola da Tolentino, Giovanni Evangelista, Carlo Borromeo, Sebastiano Marttire and the four Evangelists.
Rectangular squares with small stucco frames are furthermore representing the mysteries and angels.
The bell is dated 1614 and has imprinted the image of Our Lady and the coat of arms of the Marquis Longhi family who probably contributed to its construction.
