The Chapel of the Annunciation
This belongs to the Ruotolo (Rotoli) family and is attached to their mansion. It was founded in 1703 by a priest, Rocco Rotoli, and the records of hhe 1742 apostolic visit refer to an oil painting and the statue of St. Lucia. Initially, the altar was stucco (1771 visit), then built of stone (1875) decorated with a painted panel and two statues in niches, representing Our Lady of Sacro Monte and St. Lucia. Relics are kept in caskets. There are two doors, one leading outside and the other into the mansion. The constitution of the order of brothers based here was approved on 2 July 1858. With the kind permission of the heirs of the Mainenti family, it was open to the public in the summer of 1994, for the open door season organised by the Agropoli Tourist Board.
