The
Convent of the Frati
Francesci is interesting and
the annexed church is
dedicated to the Madonna
della Vetrana, the patron
saint of the town, venerated
because she saved the
inhabitants from the Black
death in 1691. This event is
remembered during the
festival of the "falò" (bonfire)
every January, when the
picture of the Madonna goes
from the convent to the
mother church with a solemn
procession and, after a week,
comes back to the convent.
