Built in memory of the victims of the 1661 earthquake, it was the seat of the Confraternity of the Sacred Stigmata and Misericordia. On the façade there is a terracotta depicting a boat in a stormy sea with Christ waiting on the shore and the Castellaccio in the background, and a stained glass window depicting Saint Cassiano. In modern times, the church has been used as an exhibition space for numerous works of art belonging to the parish, including a glazed terracotta tondo attributed to Andrea della Robbia depicting “Madonna worshipping the Child, St. John and a choir of angels” and the panel painting of the Trinity and the Dead Christ (1564) by the Flemish painter Giovanni Stradano.
Opening hours: It can be visited by appointment. It is open in May and on 8 September (Feast of Our Lady of Tears).
