Here is where the church is located:

The Black Christ is a wooden crucifix kept in the parish church of San Giovanni Battista. It is considered miraculous.
It comes from the church of the Disciplinanti, destroyed by fire in 1600. Only the crucifix was saved from the fire, which, according to pious tradition, remained black since it was impossible to clean it.
