Facts and practical information

The church of Santa Maria della Verità is located in the city of Benevento in Piazza Caio Ponzio Telesino, in the Triggio district. It is built on the ruins of Benevento's Roman theater. It was called, and some still call it today, the new parish.

It was erected in 1782 by Cardinal Francesco Maria Banditi, archbishop of Benevento, on the ancient lamioni of the Theater. It bears his coat of arms and the following inscription: LAPIDE REMEMBERING THE CONSECRATION OF THE CHURCH / SANTA MARIA DELLA VERITA / ARCHBISHOP CARDINAL BANDITI / YEAR 1782

Templum parochiale / olim S.Jacobi ap. Sacrum / mox Mariae vergini dicatum sub tit. veritatis / bis terraemotibus obrutum / F.M. Banditus Ariminensis / S.R. E. card. et arch. Beneventanus / ne parochialis curae munera / ecclesiae cathedralis / in qua ab annis LXXIX temporarie peragenbantur / statos ritus perturbarent / a fundamentis sua impensa excitandum / propre vetus amphitheatrum / expiata loci superstitione / cum omni ornamento curavit idemque dedicavit / anno a Christo nato MDCCLXXXII / dominica II post Pascha.

Renovations were carried out between 1920 and 1921 because of the damage it had sustained from moisture. A second renovation was carried out after the damage caused by the war events of 1943 and the 1980 earthquake.
