The chapel was built in 1667 by the noble Bucci Carmine for his deep devotion to St. Mary of Carmel , only in 1827 was opened to the public . Rectangular , has only one entrance that faces the piazza . Interesting is the entrance stone , made ​​by skilled local stonecutters , topped by a majolica depicting the Madonna del Carmine . Above the portal , we read with great difficulty inscription , worn by time :
