Pignotto church

Pignotto church was rebuilt by the De Luca family during the nineteenth century, above the ruins of a pre-existing place of worship, and restored in a modern key in 1972, thanks to the interest of Don Alfonso Panichi, who celebrated the new mass there . According to some testimonies, the nineteenth-century church was dedicated to Sant'Alfonso.

In the past, the church of San Martino a Fano stood on the site where the current structure is located, one of the oldest places of worship in the town, dating back to the Middle Ages and perhaps raised above a small Roman temple, as suggested by the reference to the fanum present in the name. The shrine dedicated to the saint of Tours collapsed between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as the parish visits of those centuries attest. The church of San Martino also gave its name to the district, which became "Pignotto" around the middle of the 19th century.

Today the building is aesthetically presented in the guise of the restorations of the seventies of the last century and is entirely plastered. On the facade there is the entrance door and a window. Other windows are placed on the sides of the building (two on each side and one on the back) and all are adorned with artistic glass.

The bell tower is a sail and is installed on the facade, almost in line with the entrance door, and has only one bell. To the left of the entrance door there is a plaque in memory of the restoration of 15 June 2008, carried out in memory of Italo Micozzi.

The interior of the structure is simple, rational and well cared for. There is a single nave with a flat ceiling. There are sacred vestments, new pews and a valuable Crucifix hanging above the altar.

Currently the church is privately managed by the Micozzi family but is accessible to the faithful.
