The Church of the Assumption in Bonito is a place of worship located in Via Roma, near Pagella-Buongiorno Palace.

Known as the Mother Church, its origins are uncertain. It is certain that in 1315 the feudal lord Odo II established the archpriesthood in this holy place. Damaged by the 1962 earthquake, it was demolished and reopened for worship on 2 May 1969, presenting itself in a new, elegant guise.

Today, the Church of the Assumption houses works of art of great importance, such as the paintings of the Annunciation and, above all, the Madonna of Candlemas (called precisely "Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria"), a valuable 18th-century masterpiece attributed to the Spanish artist José Rodriguez de la Oliva (1695-1777). Visitors can also contemplate the statue of the Divina Pastora o "Madonna della Valle" (Divine Shepherdess or "Madonna of the Valley"), a wooden crucifix dating from the 18th century, a relic of the Holy Thorn and the body of Saint Crescentius the Martyr, contained in a majestic Rococo urn nestled in the right side wall of the Church.

The Church of the Assumption is a place of faith that is very dear to the community of Bonito and makes a significant contribution to the enrichment of the cultural heritage of the town.
