Analytical text:
The oratory of Santa Margherita and San Rocco probably dates back to the XVI century.
In 1631, during the Plague, it was enlarged and in 1647 it became a parish at the request of the inhabitants of the town.
In the second half of the XIX century the church was completely restructured.
In 1920, the earthquake so seriously damaged it as to have some suggest its complete reconstruction. the church is liturgically oriented, and with a court disposition.
Inside the church there is a wooden tabernacle of the 1600's attributed to the sculptor Ceccati.
