Santa Maria della Carità, Baroque church in Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
The Santa Maria della Carità features a decorated facade with Corinthian columns and a central portal adorned with rectangular windows above the entrance.
Construction of the church began in 1532 under architect Nicola Filotesio, with modifications continuing until 1583 following Roman architectural patterns.
The interior contains frescoes depicting biblical episodes from Joshua and Moses, along with decorated side altars commissioned by local noble families.
Located in Piazza Roma, the church maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in examining the baroque architecture and religious artworks.
The church earned the nickname 'Chiesa della Scopa' due to its association with the Disciplinati Brotherhood, who used broom-shaped whips during processions.
