Settefrati. Chapel of Santa Felicita in Pietrafitta

In Acquasanta at Pietrafitta di Settefrati is this church built over a water source that was for a long time considered therapeutic.

In 1534, Gaio Prudenzio already cited this 'miraculous source' of sulphur water, where he brought his daughter: 3 different straws of water that ensured birth of children of different sizes.

Remember that the Christian martyr Felicita had 7 children (Felice, Marziale, Vitale, Silvano, Gennaro, Alessandro e Filippo), all killed with her!

These seven siblings are the saints that protect the town.
