La Church of St Francis of Assisi is a modern place of worship in the Campagna area, located in one of the commune's hamlets. It is a church linked to the Parish of Madonna del Ponte, within the archdiocese of Salerno-Campagna-Acerno, as indicated by the BeWeB portal's entries dedicated to the churches of the Campagna area and the references to the «Church of St Francis of Assisi (Campagna)» among the related places of worship. Designed to serve the population of the area, it is now a pastoral and identity reference for residents, who gather here for celebration and community life.
Around the church of St Francis of Assisi gathers a hamlet community that lives the faith in a simple and concrete way. Liturgical celebrations, catechesis and parish initiatives are part of the broader journey of the Parish of Madonna del Ponte, with which the church is in close connection. The figure of St Francis, clearly represented in the large image behind the altar and in the statues in the courtroom, recalls the values of fraternity, of the creation care and the closeness to the last, becoming a daily spiritual reference for the community.
Architecturally, the church is a small building with simple volumes and a pitched roof, plastered in light shades. The façade is characterised by a central metal and glass portal, surmounted by a small circular opening and a sign dedicated to St Francis; on the side stands a bell gable with metal cross. Inside, the single hall is lit by linear windows set high up and marked by light beams, with white walls and blue inserts framing the presbytery area. A large depiction of St. Francis dominates the back wall, flanked by devotional statues and the Way of the Cross on the walls: elements that, despite their simplicity, construct a cosy and welcoming space, designed for prayer and community meetings.
