This modest church located in the village of Wall, hosted the cloistered Benedictine nuns who remained there until the order of S. Carlo Borromeo transfer in the monastery of San Bernardino. In 1671 the church and monastery came under the ownership of the Friars Minor of St. Francis of Paola, who enlarged and decorated the church. The complex then passed to the State and will be abandoned becoming a shelter for thieves and bandits and later demolished for the most part.
\nThanks to Bishop Peter Ray, whose family became the owner of the site, the church was restored to good, enriched with three altars and reopened for worship.
\nOn the high altar is a statue of the Madonna of the Girdle, and to his right the altarpiece of Saint Benedict of Nursia Sante Cattaneo restored in ’69 by Antonio Nastuzzo.
\nThe facade of the Church has retained the eighteenth-century harmonic lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
