The Statue of Charity |
|
Onofrio Buccini made the Statue of Charity in 1877. On a massive neoclassical friezed base is a beggar receiving a donation by a gentle lady who represents the Charity itself; charity is one of the seven capital virtues.

Piazza Umberto |
|
In the main square are the classical town hall - that is constituted by a central block and two huge side wings - and a fountain holding the coat of arms. The entrance of the building has three main doors with lunettes of the same height. The central roof is topped with a tympanum embodying a clock dial.

The church of St. Andrew the Apostle |
|
This church is a baroque masterpiece; the facade features a tripartite front: the nave's height is about two times the aisles'. On the sides of the main door are two superimposed multiple pilasters patterns which support an elegant cornice. The simple stonework campanile is older and built in an austere medieval style.
