Chiesa del Cuore Immacolato di Maria e di Sant'Ilario

The church features a monumental brick facade with a central rose window made of alabaster and decorative blind arches on three levels.

Construction began in 1951 with a temporary chapel, and Cardinal Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, who later became Pope John XXIII, inaugurated the completed church in 1957.

The interior displays fourteen Stations of the Cross created by Angelo Biancini in 1972 and a wooden statue of Saint Roch from the 16th century.

The church stands on Fratelli Cervi Square with a front portico accessed by six stone steps and three entrance portals for different occasions.

The ceiling of the three-nave structure uses Swedish pine wood designed to resemble an inverted ship's hull.
