Saint Gregory Statue

Between July and September 1855, the village was hit by a severe cholera epidemic. Of more than 800 affected, 299 succumbed to the disease. As a sign of gratitude, the survivors gathered to fund the erection of a statue dedicated to Saint Gregory.

Depicted as a 19th-century pope, wearing his tiara and holding a papal cross, Gregory the Great is a revered historical figure. His most famous act dates back to the 6th century, when he ended a plague epidemic that was devastating Rome at the time.
