Santa Maria della Neve, Baroque parish church in Mazzarino, Italy.

Santa Maria della Neve is a baroque parish church in Mazzarino featuring three naves arranged in Latin cross layout with semicircular chapels along the lateral aisles. The interior structure guides visitors toward the altar with its balanced proportions and classical baroque design.

The church replaced a 15th-century church of Santa Maria della Neve damaged by the 11 January 1693 Val di Noto earthquake. Prince Carlo Maria Carafa Branciforte left 1,000 scudi in his will for the new mother church, built on the same site. Recent studies suggest the Lucchese architect Francesco Buonamici may have made the original design, while Angelo Italia, assisted by Fra Michele da Ferla, directed the works from the late 17th century.

The church is known locally as the "madrice", the mother church of Mazzarino, and is dedicated to Santa Maria della Neve, a dedication carried over from the 15th-century church that stood on the same site. It serves as the seat of the archpriesthood in the Diocese of Piazza Armerina.

The church is accessed from Corso Vittorio Emanuele via a broad staircase facing the Branciforte Palace. Visitors should be prepared for the steps and allow time to explore the interior at a comfortable pace.

The original drawings by the Jesuit architect Angelo Italia were lost, and recent studies suggest the Lucchese architect Francesco Buonamici may have supplied the first design, based on similarities with his churches in Syracuse and Malta. In 1685, 4,000 Valencian bricks were shipped by sea from Palermo to Mazzarino for the works.
