Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption

This is likely the church that my great grandparents, Giulio and Argia, were married in...but with a major caveat. It was originally built in the 16th century, heavily modified in 1793, and reconstructed after WWII bombardments. The only surviving piece in the church today is the statue of Saint Roch (the white statue in the pictures). The church is still the main place of worship for the town.

We ran into a very nice guy there who spoke enough English for us to ask about records. Records older than the 1940's are stored offsite and he didn't have a key - they were married in 1904.

He showed us the crucifix still up for easter on the altar - Christ's hands are not nailed to the cross, but opened wide to embrace us.Okumaya devam et
