Santa Maria del Soccorso, Petriolo

Santa Maria del Soccorso is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Petriolo, province of Macerata, region of Marche, Italy.

History

The church was originally called Santa Maria e San Basso, because it encompassed two earlier churches. It houses a 15th-century fresco of an Enthroned Madonna and Child attributed to Lorenzo d’Alessandro. A 17th-century canvas depicting a Madonna del Suffragio was painted for the church of that name.[1]
