The Church of San Lorenzo was originally built in 1490 and is dedicated to Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Lorenzo. Damaged by the bombings of 1943 and subsequently demolished, only the marble altar was salvaged. The construction of the new church began in 1967, thanks to the efforts of Prof. Gaetano Infranzi and the funding of the D'Amico family, and it was consecrated in 1969 by Bishop A. Vozzi. In 1988, the sacred hall was renovated, and in 1990, new pastoral spaces were added. Today, the church stands as a symbol of hope and renewal for the community.
The church, characterized by a facade of concrete and red tuff, overlooks a large courtyard and stands out for its simple yet elegant form. Inside, the nave is divided into three sections, with inclined pillars that separate the space into spans, and a gabled roof that creates a sense of openness and light. The structure, intentionally left exposed with raw materials such as tuff and concrete, gives the church a modern and authentic character. The building also includes a bell tower, sacristy, crypt, and a basement lounge, forming a harmonious ensemble that meets both the liturgical and community needs of the parish.
