Legend of the Madonna della Tagliata

The legend is linked to the place where the first Church of the Madonna della Tagliata di Castelvetrano stood, not far from the current site in Via Tagliata.

Legend has it that on the place where the first church was built, some workers in the tuff quarry "pirriatura" while extracting blocks of tuff, heard a voice repeating the phrase "cut, cut" and shortly after they found a jar in which inside there was a painting depicting a Madonna and Child, it was therefore decided to build a small church on the same site of the discovery. The painting was called "Madonna della Tagliata".
