The cult passed first for the veneration of the Virgin of the Belt, then for the Madonna della Tempera (the water needed for the fields). A legend tells that, while the drought threatened the crops, a propitiatory procession was held. The statue of the Madonna had just set off, when the sky darkened and the beneficial rain fell.

The traditional festival takes place on August 15th. The chapel has a single nave, a terracotta floor and a travertine altar. In the garden stands a centuries-old oak more than 23 meters high, with a circumference greater than 5 meters.
