In the hamlet of San Giovenale of Leonessa, surrounded by greenery, is the Sanctuary of Madonna of Paolina.
The church takes this name thanks to the appearance of the Virgin to a woman of that place named Paolina Giovannoli.
The event was accompanied by a twofold miracle: the flow of a spring and the healing of a sick person.
In honour of this event a well and a rural chapel were built in 1665.
The building was destroyed by the earthquake of 1703.
Due to the great devotion a new church was built in 1770.
