Oliveto Citra: Church of S.Maria Della Misericordia

Chiesa S.Maria Della Misericordia – dedicated to S. Maria della Misericordia, dates back to the XVIII century. It presents a typical Latin cross plan. At the base of the dome, which rests on three remarkable columns, the four Evangelists are depicted, and the "fastigium" is very interesting. Inside, besides the main altar, there are ten smaller polychrome marble altars, almost all dating back to the end of the 19th century. Among the works to be mentioned, an oil on canvas depicting the "Madonna del Rosario", by the Olivetan artist E. Gaifi (1705-1770). The parish archives include manuscripts dating back to the mid-16th century.
