The church of St Michael Archangel - San Michele Arcangelo in Guarcino was erected in the late middle ages on the ruins of the pagan temple of Mars and was modified in 1587 to house the Benedictine nuns.

The church was later rebuilt in 1790.

At the end of the sixteenth century the rural church was built that was accessible only by a small country road.

The paintings at the end of the aisles represent images from the history of faith of San Vito.
The organ faces the inside of the church.
It was named a sanctuary only after recognition of the Virgin Mary in 1948.
The church of St. Biagio in San Vito Romano was built on an ancient pre-existent oratory in about 1200. Then it was rebuilt and extended around 1607.

In 1830, two chapels were added that were decorated between 1927 and 1929.
In the altarpiece is the image of a woman with child asking the saint to heal the child suffocated by a fish bone. For this reason, San Biagio is invoked for the ills of the throat.
