Church of S. Maria Assunta

Located on a hill, near the cemetery, at the end of a short tree-lined avenue, stands the Church of S. Maria Assunta.

The current building was rebuilt in 1965 on a previous one from the 18th century. The origin seems to date back to the 16th century, known since 1527 as Sancta Maria ad Bocetum. From the historian Palma we learn that in 1555 it was called "sine cura animarum".

It was erected as a parish church at the beginning of the seventeenth century by the first Campli bishop Alessandro Boccabarile. In the nineteenth century it was declared a lay chaplaincy. Restored in the early 2000s, it features a modern interior.

The gabled façade shows two red brick pilasters at the sides of the portal, which can be accessed via a short flight of stairs. Above the entrance a three-light window, also in red bricks; the portal, with travertine decorations, is surmounted by a small roof. On the back of the church stands the eighteenth-century bell tower built with exposed bricks; two floors, corresponding to the bell cells, are decorated with protruding shelves culminating in a small spire with a cross. It houses two bells.

The interior houses various works of art, statues and canvases. Of particular note: an Immaculate Conception (17th-18th century), processional effigy and two simulacra (one older, the other recent) depicting St. Athanasius Bishop, patron of Boceto, holding the model of the hamlet in his hand.

Noteworthy are a second nineteenth-century statue of the Immaculate Conception (dressed), an eighteenth-century S. Benedict and an eighteenth-century S. Antonio Abate, a S. Vincenzo Ferreri and a S. Gabriele dell'Addolorata, recently made. In the confessional it is possible to read the date 1861 placed on an engraved six-petaled rosette.
