The church of Santa Rita is located in the homonymous district of Savona, on the right bank of Letimbro. The style is mostly baroque except for the bell tower which is Romanesque.
The feast of St. Rita is celebrated on May 22nd, when the district is served by a market with stalls for the sale of roses.
This gem, one of the most beloved places of worship for the locacl inhabitants, unfortunately risks to get closed. The story, unfortunately, repeats itself.
Twenty years ago, in fact, an agreement had been signed between the Diocese of Savona and the Augustinian Fathers, owners of the walls of the building, where it was stated that, due to the reduction in the number of monks devoted to St. Augustine, since 1995 absent from the city, the church was entrusted to the City Diocese that, with the formula of the loan for use, would be managed by the Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity.
In 2015, the agreement will expire and, in the neighborhood, has already spread the rumor of a possible closure throwing into disarray many faithful. The Diocese of Savona has confirmed the impossibility of fact to sign a new agreement.
They Orthodox Christians, who attend the church since time, though marginally, have come forward. If the agreement is concluded and they will be responsible for managing the building, hyposthesis increasingly probable, from time to time will be allowed Catholic services.
At this point it may change the name of the church for now it is dedicated to a Santa that in the iconography of the Orthodox religion does not exist.
