Church of San Giuseppino, officially called ‘Chiesa di San Giuseppe’ (St. Joseph Church), is a church built between 1858 and 1870 to a design by the engineer Gatteschi. The church stands out for its neo-Gothic style, with a gabled facade. Inside, the single nave with side transepts houses works of art, such as a statue of the Immaculate Conception by Emilio Santarelli.
Since 1947 the church has been entrusted to the Vincentian Missionaries. Today, it is subordinate to the nearby Church Our Lady of the Sacred Heart and continues to serve the local community, providing liturgical celebrations and other religious activities.
