CHIESA DI SANTA MARIA DELLA CONSOLAZIONE

Santa Maria della Consolazione is a Roman Catholic church. The church is named after an icon of the Virgin Mary which was placed on this site to console criminals who were tossed down off the cliff above the church. In 1385 a condemned nobleman, Giordanello degli Alberini, paid 2 gold florins for the icon to provide consolation for criminals facing death.
