PIETRANICO - The Oratorio comes back to light after a long restoration / E l'Oratorio rivede la luce - Quasi ultimato il restauro del monumento del '600, by Patrizia Lupini
The 17th-century Oratorio of the Madonna della Croce, Pietranico, closed for over a year for a badly needed recovery of the frescoes by unknown artists, will be again a favourite destination of art lovers, since it is one of the most perfect examples of Baroque art. Madonna della Croce rises on a hill among green pinewoods, on the site called La Croce where the Virgin Mary appeared on 25 March 1613 to a humble peasant.
