The church of Santa Maria del Rovo has a Romanesque gabled façade, characterized by horizontal bands, fake pilasters and decorative hanging arches. The interior has a single nave with two side altars and a triumphal arch, with the apse containing the altar dedicated to Santa Maria del Rovo. In 1886 the sacristy and two upper rooms were added, followed in 1890 by the construction of the bell tower. In 1895, Bishop Giuseppe Izzo blessed the first bells, called "Santa Maria del Rovo" and "Immacolata", while in 1899 work began on the pipe organ, blessed in 1900. After Gelsomina's death, the priest Alfonso Apicella and the faithful continued the spread of the Marian cult and completed the work on the church.

The Madonna del Rovo, venerated for the graces bestowed, was crowned on 9 June 1909. In 1913, the priest Don Prospero Pisapia enriched the temple with the baptistery, the balustrade and the marble floor, while in 1918 the artist Antonio Ferrigno decorated the apse with frescoes depicting Moses and the burning bush. In 1920, the church was declared an autonomous parish. After the Second World War, in 1945, the vault of the nave was frescoed by Guglielmo Coppola as a sign of gratitude to the Madonna. In 2009, for the centenary of the coronation, the "Incoronata" bell was cast.

The community has always shown profound veneration for Santa Maria del Rovo, manifested in numerous community moments, triduums, septenaries and novenaries. The current parish priest, Don Francesco Della Monica, has continued this tradition with initiatives that have contributed to rebuilding the community.
