Chiesa del Purgatorio

This modest 17th-century church, presiding over Piazza del Purgatorio, has an intriguing history. The story goes that a member of the noble Misorro family was found guilty of carrying out a massacre on this very spot. To expiate his sins, the pope ordered the man to fund the building of this church, where to this day it's the custom of townspeople to come and pray after a funeral.
