The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena is a church of ancient origins located in via Zacconi. The building comes from the complete renovation done in the eighteenth century.

The Church was built in 1577 by the Society of the Name of God, a secular brotherhood of the city. In the past, the church was used to celebrate the funeral of the poor or executed. The beautiful interior frescoes were made by the painter Giovan Giacomo Pandolfi and represent the path to salvation to arrive in Paradise.
