Fodor's Review:
This church, a 10th-century edifice with a Renaissance facade, is dedicated to the patron saint of motorists; on her feast day, March 9, cars and taxis used to crowd the roadway below for a special blessing -- a practice that died out with the advent of increased traffic restrictions. The incomparable setting continues to be a favorite for weddings.
