History

edit

La Cappella Madonna della Grazia was the private family chapel for the Salati family of Gioi, Italy.[1][2][3] The chapel was built about 1600, and during renovations it was discovered that the original owners were the De Marco family, also of Gioi.[3] The chapel fell into disuse in the 1800s and now is owned by the government of Italy.[3] The roof has been restored, but the interior requires substantial renovation.[3]
