Saint Maria Goretti Diocesan Sanctuary

The Saint Maria Goretti Diocesan Sanctuary is located at the peak of the historic centre, easily identified by its bell tower above the roofs of Corinaldo. Entering to the left, there is the tomb of Mamma Assunta deceased in Corinaldo in 1954, and to the right the tomb of Allessandro Serenelli. The central altar is in white Carrara marble and near a wooden sculpture of Saint Maria Goretti there is a silver urn containing the bones of the saint’s arm, the same arm that the martyr used to defend herself from her aggressor.
