CAPPELLA DI SAN VITO MARTIRE

 

Inside the sanctuary in the chapel of San Vito enriched with local marble and with statues by Orazio Ferraro (1624-1628) is situated, in the centre, the statue of the Saint, a fine work of the Gagini school from 1587, with episodes of his life linked to his stay in the town, engraved in the base. The particularly smooth appearance of the feet is due to the secular custom of the pilgrims of kissing the feet to show their devotion.
