Limiti di Greccio: Church, Festivals and E-Bike Tour

Church, Art and Local History

In Limiti di Greccio, the parish church of Santa Maria di Loreto brings together several specific points of connection with cultural history. Inside, there are works by Piero Casentini from 2004, which reflect the Franciscan-influenced figurative tradition.

The church’s architectural history also goes further back. Santa Maria di Loreto appears in Bishop Camarda’s pastoral visitation of 1728. A pastoral visitation is a church visit to support and inspect a parish. The present building was constructed from 1880 onwards over a period of three years, replacing a smaller earlier church. Those interested in architecture, sacred spaces and regional history will find a precisely identifiable cultural topic here.
