Miglionico and the church of Materdomini

The church of Materdomini, like that of the Holy Spirit, stands in the immediate vicinity of the Foggiali area: it is located to the left of the three arches that from Piazza Vittorio Veneto open the view of the Sassi. Local chroniclers date the construction of the church to 1680 and attribute the commission to the Commendatore of the Knights of Malta, Silvio Zurla. The façade as a whole has a graceful appearance: above the portal, made in relief, a sculpture depicts a Madonna and Child; the bell tower has a flat tower and rests on a loggia, below it are represented the coat of arms of the Knights of Malta and that of the Zurla family. The interior consists of a single room, in addition to the high altar, dedicated to the Annunziata, you can admire two polychrome stone statues, one depicting the Archangel Gabriel and the other the Madonna.
