The small church of “Nocchieto”, due to its happy location soon became a place of reference and meeting place for travelers who passed, in particular, along the “Roman” road that led to Vescovio.
A marble epigraph placed above the door indicated in 1588, ie at the time of Enrico Orsini, I Marquis of Stimigliano, the year of construction of the church, in the place where there were already ancient vestiges. Originally the church had only one altar with the image of the Madonna painted on the wall and unfortunately lost. In 1892 the sacred building was extensively restored and embellished by the parish priest of Stimigliano who dedicated it to the Madonna della Strada to protect all those who passed through those places.
In 1930 the church was restored again thanks to Cardinal Sbarretti. During the last world war, the people and the parish priest Don Mario Patrignani invoked the protection of the Virgin of Nocchieto for the bombed town on October 16, 1943.
The church was restored to worship on 8 September 1998 by the parish priest Rev. Don MirekSzaida.
